I'm porting an output plugin to the new interface, however I'm not seeing where the line should be drawn between the two. Is one called more often than the other (like on restart)?
The TCP and ElasicSearch output plugins I'm using as a guide seem to have initialization of things in seemingly inconsistent places, like channels created in the Init(), but buffers for batches in Prepare(), and TCP output only doing things in the Prepare() function that requires the runner and helper. My main issue is that in my plugin, it has to grab a key from a server before it can do anything, and should fail the plugin if it can't do this, but both functions seem like a good place to do that get.
