+ * A flexible wrapper interface for managing buffered request entries in an 
async sink. This allows
+ * sink implementations to define and optimize their own data structures for 
request buffering.

+ * <p>{@link RequestEntryWrapper} is buffered instead of raw request entries 
(like {@code InputT})
+ * to support metadata tracking (e.g., entry size, retry priority). This makes 
it easier to manage
+ * retries and batch sizing without burdening the sink logic.
+ *
+ * <p>Sink developers can provide custom implementations of this interface 
(e.g., circular buffer,
+ * priority queue) to control how entries are buffered.

Review Comment:
   Same logic as for BatchCreator. Complexity of the build being pluggable and 
not exposing the constructor.
