@Seth: Earlier in this discussion it was said that the BucketingSink would not be usable in 1.12 .

+1 It has been deprecated for some time and the StreamingFileSink has
stabalized with a large number of formats and features.

Plus, the bucketing sink only implements a small number of stable
interfaces[1]. I would expect users to continue to use the bucketing sink
from the 1.11 release with future versions for some time.

@Arvid Heise I also do not remember exactly what were all the
problems. The fact that we added some more bulk formats to the
streaming file sink definitely reduced the non-supported features. In
addition, the latest discussion I found on the topic was [1] and the
conclusion of that discussion seems to be to remove it.

Currently, I cannot find any obvious reason why keeping the
BucketingSink, apart from the fact that we do not have a migration
plan unfortunately. This is why I posted this to dev@ and user@.

Cheers,

I remember this conversation popping up a few times already and I'm in
general a big fan of removing BucketingSink.

However, until now there were a few features lacking in StreamingFileSink
that are present in BucketingSink and that are being actively used (I
can't
exactly remember them now, but I can look it up if everyone else is also
suffering from bad memory). Did we manage to add them in the meantime? If
not, then it feels rushed to remove it at this point.

@Chesnay Schepler  Off the top of my head, I cannot find an easy way
to migrate from the BucketingSink to the StreamingFileSink. It may be
possible but it will require some effort because the logic would be
"read the old state, commit it, and start fresh with the
StreamingFileSink."

Ah yes, I see FLIP-147 as a more general replacement for FLIP-46.
Thanks
for the reminder, we should close FLIP-46 now with an explanatory
message to avoid confusion.
