Support fallback exporters with single-instance DLQ replay #336

Description

@cleaton

As a Rotel user in a multi-region environment,
I want to configure a prioritized fallback exporter flow,
So that telemetry goes directly to Clickhouse when healthy, falls back to local Kafka when Clickhouse is unavailable, and can later be replayed from Kafka back to Clickhouse in the same Rotel instance.

Example flow:

  • OTLP ingest -> Clickhouse primary
  • If Clickhouse fails -> Kafka fallback / DLQ
  • Kafka DLQ consumer -> Clickhouse replay

This avoids always routing through Kafka during normal operation, while still preserving telemetry when the primary destination is unreachable.
