>Can you also explain what does "partition commit" mean exactly? Partition commit means that in the current task, we consider that the data of a partition is ready and can be opened to downstream applications. Here we can define what actions to perform when committing partitions. Is it to submit the partition to the metadata, create a marker file, or perform some other custom operations. For example, there is a table partitioned by hour, when the watermark based on event time reaches 02:00:00 we think that the data of the `01` hour partition is complete and can be used by downstream applications, so we write this partition to the metadata. In this case, we can make a remote API call to notify a task flow that it can proceed to the spark batch step for `01` hour partition. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
