I think the current code (pre this pull request) does not tolerate missing
barriers. Missing barriers can happen at startup time, when one source took
much longer to start than the other sources.

> We need to make the Checkpoint handling pluggable, to allow us to use
> different implementations:
> - BarrierBuffer for "exactly once" processing. This inevitably introduces a
> bit of latency.
> - BarrierTracker for "at least once" processing, with no added latency.
