Review comment:
       > Should we be concerned that a writer won't emit a file until a 
streaming query is closed due to the previously mentioned case?
   
   I think that the intent is to close and emit all of the file files each 
checkpoint, rather than keeping them open. That is required to achieve 
exactly-once writes because the data needs to be committed to the table.
   
   I think that also takes care of your second question because data is 
constantly added to the table.
   
   > Would it be beneficial to at least emit a warning or info level log to the 
user that it might be beneficial to pre-partition their data according to the 
partition key spec . . .
   
   I think a reasonable thing to do is to limit the number of writers that are 
kept open, to limit the resources that are held. Then you can either fail if 
you go over that limit, or can close and release files with a LRU policy. 
Failing brings the problem to the user's attention immediately and is similar 
to what we do on the Spark side, which doesn't allow writing new data to a 
partition after it is finished. That ensures that data is either clustered for 
the write, or the job fails.
   
   The long-term plan for Spark is to be able to influence the logical plan 
that is writing to a table. That would be the equivalent of adding an automatic 
`keyBy` or rough `orderBy` for Flink. I think we would eventually want to do 
this for Flink as well, but I'm not sure what data clustering and sorting 
operations are supported currently.
