It can be a reasonable design decision to not return "success" to the source 
unless all edits in the batch are confirmed to be applied. It would make 
failure handling more reliable because we may miss local exceptions, and return 
"success" back to the source prematurely, if we are not waiting for all futures 
to complete.

It may change the performance of replicateEntries. Before, the replicateEntries 
call will return as soon as the local edits on the sink are _scheduled_ for 
application. After, the replicateEntries will block for the entire time it 
takes to confirm all local edits in the batch are applied, including waiting 
for retries and backoff if there is local server unavailability. And that may 
cause a reduction in replication throughput because of the new backpressure on 
the source, as we block in replicateEntries for what I assume will be a longer 
time on average.

I am not saying this approach is wrong but it will change the performance of

On the other hand, it can be a reasonable design decision to not return 
"success" to the source unless all edits in the batch are confirmed to be 
applied. 

It would make failure handling more reliable because we may miss local 
exceptions, and return "success" back to the source prematurely, if we are not
