It feels counter-intuitive to have `preCommit` without `commit`. It seems like I missed a case when I explicitly structured the code to not call `preCommit`. AFAICT all async sinks which want to implement at-least-once cannot work currently. They are all built on the assumption that during `preCommit` `mailbox.yield()` is called until all outstanding message callbacks are called but they do not have any transaction-like to commit (no committer). I personally experienced the issue when trying to implement the elasticseach sink. > If we always want to `preCommit`, then please refactor such that `preCommit` is called on call-site (e.g. remove the `Supplier` and directly pass the result. Sure can do that 👍 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
