Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When performing a batch operation such as a reset or pause, I'd like to be able to query for workflows that are failing and in which their failure fits a certain failure pattern, for example they might have a non-determinism error or have a certain stuck activity.

Describe the solution you'd like

Perhaps you could write a search attribute when certain conditions are met, such as > N retries of an activity or task failure, or when the workflow has been stuck for a certain amount of time.
You could write some key information (e.g. of the activity type that's failing and the class of the error) or a hash of that information, to allow people to narrow their queries.
