This is a very nice addition, thank's a lot for contributing it!
Flink 1.3 is approaching feature freeze and there are a few critical issues
that @tzulitai and me are working on. Once we are through with those, we'll
take a look at this issue. Please bear with us for a few more days...

> Currently Flink provides the BucketingSink as an exactly once method for
> writing out to a file system. It provides these guarantees by moving files
> through several stages and deleting or truncating files that get into a bad
> state. While this is a powerful abstraction, it causes issues with eventually
> consistent file systems such as Amazon's S3 where most operations (ie rename,
> delete, truncate) are not guaranteed to become consistent within a reasonable
> amount of time. Flink should provide a sink that provides exactly once writes
> to a file system where only PUT operations are considered consistent.
