+/**
+ * Flink Sink to produce data into a Kafka topic. This producer is
compatible with Kafka 0.10.x
+ *
+ * Implementation note: This producer is a hybrid between a regular
regular sink function (a)
+ * and a custom operator (b).
+ *
+ * For (a), the class implements the SinkFunction and RichFunction
interfaces.
+ * For (b), it extends the StreamTask class.
+ *
+ * Details about approach (a):
+ *
+ * Pre Kafka 0.10 producers only follow approach (a), allowing users to
use the producer using the
+ * DataStream.addSink() method.
+ * Since the APIs exposed in that variant do not allow accessing the the
timestamp attached to the record
+ * the Kafka 0.10 producer has a section invocation option, approach (b).
+ *
+ * Details about approach (b):
+ * Kafka 0.10 supports writing the timestamp attached to a record to
Kafka. When adding the
+ * FlinkKafkaProducer010 using the FlinkKafkaProducer010.writeToKafka()
method, the Kafka producer
+ * can access the internal record timestamp of the record and write it to
Kafka.
+ *
+ * All methods and constructors in this class are marked with the approach
they are needed for.

Its a good idea, I'll rename the methods
