I have a Logstash pipeline that receives events from an AWS SQS queue via the [SQS Input Plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-sqs.html). If there is a failure during data processing, will SQS retry the event, or do I need a Logstash DLQ to handle intermittent failures?
