Currently, the ES|QL failure collectors categorize errors into non-cancellation and cancellation errors, preferring to return non-cancellation errors to users. With the retry on shard-level failure, the failure collector can now collect more categories of errors: client errors, server errors, shard-unavailable errors, and cancellation errors. For easier diagnostics and operations (especially on serverless), the failure collectors prefer returning client (4xx) errors over server (5xx) errors, shard-unavailable errors, and cancellation errors.
