Questions on the DICOM Adapter's reliability
1) If there is a failure in transferring the data using this adapter between PACS to GCP DICOM Store (i.e. a failure in calling the GCP Healthcare API, the application crashes, there is a network outage, etc.) - does a standard PACS System pick up from where it last left off?
2) Is data persisted somewhere between retrieval and storage in DICOM? If not would it be possible to leverage some sort of persistent queue?
3) How was the consistency of the data transfer between PACS & DICOM Store tested by this adapter?

It is expected to understand how reliable this healthcare-dicom-dicomweb-adapter solution is prior to using it in a production environment.
Note, My concern is with consistency of data between the PACS system and the DICOM store when using google's open source GCP DICOM Adapter solution. If there is a failure to transfer data from PACS to GCP DICOM Adapter will there be a retry or will the stream continue without retrying?
