Hi all, The FileSink has been marked as @Experimental[1] since Oct. 2020. According to FLIP-197[2], I would like to propose to graduate it to @PublicEvloving in the upcoming 1.18 release.
On the other hand, as a related topic, FileSource was marked as @PublicEvolving[3] 3 years ago. It deserves a graduation discussion too. To keep this discussion lean and efficient, let's focus on FlieSink in this thread. There will be another discussion thread for the FileSource. I was wondering if anyone might have any concerns. Looking forward to hearing from you.
