About how to evolute to a better update mode, I have a rough idea. To me, the missing piece of the current update mode is: there is no update condition. This makes the behavior ambiguous. We can add a new API in `DataStreamWriter` (or just use options) to specify the update condition. When update condition is not specified, the 2 sink can provide a default one. It can be constant `false` which means update is the same as append. We can fail by default if update condition is not specified, and provide a legacy config to allow it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
