>
> Right now, many output connectors exist in two variants: OutputFormat and
> StreamSink.
> Wrapping an output format to a stream sink is not quite possible, because
> output formats cannot be cleanly integrated into checkpointing. For example,
> they have no hook to ensure that data is written/persisted at the time of a
> checkpoint.
> We should try and see if we can make both one, or at least make the
> OutputFormats such that they can be wrapped into a stream sink and behave
> well with respect to checkpointing.
