Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-6306:
-----------------------------------------
I think this issue can still be used for that. The new sink will most likely
use our own {{FileSystem}} abstraction and not use Hadoop {{FileSystem}}
anymore and it will probably be a new implementation, based on what we learned
from different things, in including the recent PR by [~sjwiesman].

> 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.
