Review comment:
       delayed cutover (up to a checkpoint interval) is probably not a big 
deal, as job can be delayed for up to a checkpoint interval during failure. 
Regarding the requirement of enabling checkpoint, that is where I am not too 
sure. The most common scenario for hybrid source is transitioning from historic 
data source (like file) to live data source (like Kafka), enabling checkpoints 
seem likely. However, I agree that it is better to avoid such a restriction.
   
   I want to discuss the other implication of the current behavior though. It 
means that cutover/switch is not one-way final deal. In some failure cases, we 
may go back to the previous source after cutover. I am wondering what is the 
semantic of hybrid source. is it one-time final/irreversible action? that has 
implications on ordering. if the hybrid source can go back to the previous 
source after cutover, it is hard to achieve ordering guarantee.
