- ## Method Details

  - ### shouldSkip

    boolean shouldSkip(Throwable t, long skipCount) throws SkipLimitExceededException
    Returns true or false, indicating whether or not processing should continue with the given throwable. Clients may use `skipCount&lt;0` to probe for exception types that are skippable, so implementations should be able to handle gracefully the case where `skipCount&lt;0`. Implementations should avoid throwing any undeclared exceptions.
    Parameters:
      `t` - exception encountered while processing
      `skipCount` - currently running count of skips
    Returns:
      true if processing should continue, false otherwise.
    Throws:
      `SkipLimitExceededException` - if a limit is breached
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if the exception is null
