Flink Jira Bot updated FLINK-17505:
-----------------------------------
Labels: stale-major (was: )
> Merge small files produced by StreamingFileSink
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-17505
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17505
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors / FileSystem
> Affects Versions: 1.10.0
> Reporter: Piotr Nowojski
> Priority: Major
> Labels: stale-major
>
> This an alternative approach to FLINK-11499, to solve a problem of creating
> many small files with bulk formats in StreamingFileSink (which have to be
> rolled on checkpoint).
> Merge based approach would require converting {{StreamingFileSink}} from a
> sink, to an operator, that would be working exactly as it’s working right
> now, with the same limitations (no support for arbitrary rolling policies for
> bulk formats), followed by another operator that would be tasked with merging
> small files in the background.
> In the long term we probably would like to have both merge operator and write
> ahead log solution (WAL described in FLINK-11499) as alternatives, as WAL
> would behave better if small files are more common, and merge operator could
> behave better if small files are rare (because of data skew for example).
