Here is my kotlin extension function for ignoring errors

fun  Observable.ignoreErrors(errorHandler: (Throwable) -> Unit) =
    retryWhen { errors ->
        errors
            .doOnNext { errorHandler(it) }
            .map { 0 }
    }

This utilizes retryWhen to indefinately re-subscribe to the upstream while still allowing you a method of handling the error in a non terminal way.

This feels dangerous
