If there was an error in `_image = _delta.apply()`, `_image` will be the previous image that was published while `delta` is the new `_delta` that was not applied. Also, note that I am pretty sure that the code `publisher.publish` assumes that this layer doesn't send duplicate deltas and images. Is there a way we can write tests for this code and scenarios so that we can increase our confidence that this code behaves as we expect? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
