Atharva Inamdar created FLINK-5478: -------------------------------------- Summary: Redis Sink Connector should allow update of command without reinstatiation Key: FLINK-5478 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5478 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Streaming Connectors Affects Versions: 1.1.4 Reporter: Atharva Inamdar Priority: Minor
`getCommandDescription()` gets called when RedisSink is instantiated. This happens only once and thus doesn't allow the command to be updated during run time. Use Case: As a dev I want to store some data by day. So each key will have some date specified. this will change over course of time. for example: `counts_for_1484265600000` for 2017-01-13. This is not limited to any particular command. old link to connector (not sure where this lives now): https://github.com/subhankarb/flink/blob/be6b0a9277f191f812be422e45a6fda3247de388/flink-streaming-connectors/flink-connector-redis/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/connectors/redis/RedisSink.java#L114 I wish `getCommandDescription()` could be called in `invoke()` so that the key can be updated without having to restart. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
