Fix error handling for backfill
refactor
Abort backfill after limited errors
If there is a persistent problem with one of the network connections,
continuing to attempt the insertion is a waste of time, and if the list
of errors gets too long before the script finishes or is interrupted, it
becomes impossible to tell when it started failing and therefore where
to restart the script from. This change sets a limit on the maximum
number of failures to tolerate before exiting the script. Parsing errors
are related to the format of the data and don't have implications on the
overall success of the script on other data, so no change is implemented
for parsing errors.
