I agree it seems better to introduce either a builder method or `RecordWriterBuilder` class for creating the specific RecordWriter. But it seems unfeasible to check ChannelSelector instance in current architecture, because the classes of `BatchTask` and `StreamTask` are in different modules and the` instanceof BroadcastPartitioner` check would only work under streaming module, not meanwhile work for `BatchTask` in runtime module. There might be two ways for this issue: 1. Introduce `ChannelSelector#isBroadcast` method to solve the module dependence. 2. Check the broadcast mode separately in `StreamTask` and `BatchTask` classes, that means no unified builder for creating `RecordWriter` I prefer the second way a bit in order not to change the interface much, although this check instance would be scattered in two different places.
