By default if a step fails within a pipeline, the whole pipeline will stop and be marked as failed. This is also true for`on_elected` segments as well. If they fail, then the whole pipeline will fail (regardless of the position of the segment in a pipeline or step).

By default if a step fails within a pipeline, the whole pipeline will stop and be marked as failed. This is also true for`on_elected` segments as well. If they fail, then the whole pipeline will fail (regardless of the position of the segment in a pipeline or step). However, this only applies to`on_elected` segments -`on_success`,`on_fail` and`on_finish` segments do not affect the pipeline outcome at all, and a pipeline will continue even if one of these segments fails.

For example the following pipeline will fail right away, because the pipeline hook fails at the beginning.
