In approach (b), i.e. {{FlinkKafkaProducer010.writeToKafkaWithTimestamps(inStream, schema, config)}}, flushing works. It's in approach (a) where its used as a regular sink UDF {{stream.addSink(new FlinkKafkaProducer010(...))}}, since it doesn't implement the {{CheckpointedFunction}} interface, there's no flushing happening. was (Author: tzulitai): I think its the other way around.
