Review Comment:
   > But the corresponding subtask may be restarting, causing 
gateway.sendEvent(event) to fail, right?
   
   Yes, that's my concern.
   
   Re your 2nd and 3rd paragraphs:
   If `sendEvent` fails, it will throw an exception, that will bubble up until 
the catch-all safety net in `schedulePeriodTask`, so that will cause the job to 
failover. Which I guess is currently mostly fine, unless that source has been 
used in batch job with multiple failover regions. In that case expected 
behaviour should be that only subtasks belonging to the failover region with 
source subtasks should restart, not whole job. That's my main worry with this 
race condition. That's why I suggested:
   
   > Shouldn't we have a try/catch here and actually checking if the exception 
is "retry-able", so things like "subtask has failed" or "subtask not ready" or 
"task is initialising"? 🤔
