Fan out pipelines

[yuzhouliu9]

Hello,

Question about the fan-out to multiple pipelines documented here

The Important section mentions that pipelines referencing the same receiver will get blocked if the processor in one of them is blocked.

But if pipelines each go to a different exporter (as diagram below), when A gets blocked, will B will still continue?

    A[Receivers] --> B[fan-out] --> Pipeline_A --> C(Splunk Exporter)
    B --> Pipeline_B --> D(S3 Exporter)

Sorry I read the documentation wrong. It specifies receivers. So in a fan-out scenario, because the same receiver is referenced by multiple pipelines, if one pipeline is blocked, it will always block the other.
