I think it's better than the current impl. However, yes I do prefer the scenario where a sink/source can throw and error which should not be retried.

> If a Sink throws any exception but EventDeliveryException the sink will die. We should catch the exception, perhaps backoff a bit, and retry like PollingSourceRunner.
