Github user tzulitai commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3934 Answer to some of your other questions: 1. I don't think the Apache ICLA is strictly required, unless you're invited as a Committer of the project. 2. The tests should be added under `src/test/...` directory of the module. I think the already-existing IT tests for the ES sinks already cover the changed functionality here. Since this isn't a very complicated feature, for new tests, at the very most I would suggest perhaps to add unit tests that test the factory is correctly respected during the init flow.
