Gyula Fora commented on FLINK-11395:
------------------------------------
Wouldn't the Avro format be a Row based format implementing Encoder instead of
a bulk writer?
> Support for Avro StreamingFileSink

> Priority: Major

> Current implementation for StreamingFileSink supports Rowformat for text and
> json files . BulkWriter has support for Parquet files . Out of the box
> RowFormat does not seem to be right fit for writing Avro files as avro files
> need to persist metadata when opening new file. We are thinking of
> implementing Avro writers similar to how Parquet is implemented . I am happy
> to submit a PR if this approach sounds good .
