------------------------------------
Hi [~yunw]
I got your point, currently *ElasticsearchSinkFunction* is designed as a
simple *Function* that only can process message and can not offer the ability
to open a resource/cleanup resource, thest ability are abstracted to
*ElasticsearchSink*.
You want *ElasticsearchSinkFunction* to expose a `close` method(i.e
server as RichFunction) so that you can simply implements a
*ElasticsearchRichSinkFunction*(we assume this name) to meet your requirement.
I think the requirement make sense, but the new *ElasticsearchRichSinkFunction*
will has some duplication with *ElasticsearchSink* , we need to make this clear
before start.
And could you describe your more so that we can consider more detail ?
