DESCRIBE YOUR PR

Clarifies that the backend telemetry processor's pull-based approach is optimized for high load but may not suit SDKs needing offline caching support (e.g., Java). Each SDK should evaluate whether to adopt the pull-based or push-based model based on its platform constraints.

  • Reworded intro to focus on the pull-based scheduling model
  • Added paragraph explaining trade-offs with offline caching
