JingsongLi opened a new pull request #18412: URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/18412
## What is the purpose of the change In Table Store, we want to get the offsets of kafka writer, only the offset returned by the callback inside the KafkaWriter is accurate, so we need this callback mechanism. This ticket wants to add a interface MetadataPublisher: ``` /** * A {@code MetadataPublisher} publish metadata events of type {@link MetaT} to all registered * subscribers in a {@link SinkWriter}. */ @Experimental public interface MetadataPublisher<MetaT> { /** Subscribes a consumer to this publisher for metadata events. */ void subscribe(Consumer<MetaT> metadataConsumer); } ``` SinkWriter can implement this interface, so that table store can subscribe metadata from SinkWriter. ## Brief change log - Introduce MetadataPublisher - KafkaWriter implements MetadataPublisher ## Verifying this change `KafkaWriterITCase.testMetadataPublisher` ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (yes / **no**) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (yes / **no**) - The serializers: (yes / **no** / don't know) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (yes / **no** / don't know) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Kubernetes/Yarn, ZooKeeper: (yes / **no** / don't know) - The S3 file system connector: (yes / **no** / don't know) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
