Description

Implement a new sink selector with the following behaviors:

• Round robin usage of sinks
• Temporarily removing sinks from the round robin pool when they fail
• Increasing timeout mechanics on sequential failures
• Spreading load equally over surviving sinks(current Round Robin sends all the failed sinks events to the next sink in line)
