Description
The S3 Source currently attempts to write to the buffer and if the buffer is full, will fail and drop Events. The difficulty with retrying writes to this buffer is that the S3 connection may close.
Investigate retrying writes to the Buffer as long as the connection to S3 is open.

Research direction
Start by locating the S3 Source implementation and its buffer-write path, then inspect how the S3 connection lifecycle is tracked. The work is done when buffer-full writes are retried while the S3 connection remains open and Events are not dropped; the payload names no specific files or tests.
