Hi, The BucketingSink does not clean up pending files on purpose. In a distributed setting, and especially with rescaling of Flink operators, it is sufficiently hard to figure out which of the pending files you actually can delete and which of them you have to leave because they will get moved to "final" as part of recovering from a checkpoint on some other parallel instance of the sink.
You should only have these dangling pending files after a failure-recovery cycle, as you noticed. My suggestion would be to periodically clean up older pending files. Best, Aljoscha > On 19.
