Review Comment:
   I might have gotten this completely wrong, but that should not be the case. 
You're correct that preparing the stream is potentially on a different thread, 
but what gets returned by the task is the stream itself, not the individual 
record batches. The stream should still be getting drained by the original 
task. What you're describing is what `RecordBatchReceiverStream` does which is 
quite different and requires channels for the inter-thread communication.
