Review Comment:
agree, I think the idea is that the decoder encapsulates retry logic and
error handling and only throw an exception when it is exhausted to let the
data manager retry ingestion. The decoder should return `null` if the payload
cannot be decoded.
We have added documentation to `StreamMessageDecoder` however there are
already OTB decoders which break this contract and users may still want to use
them - this could also be the case of third-party plugins. We could make the
decoders backwards incompatible, treat the issue as a bug and ignore this
change instead but I think this may still be handy.
