 Note that these examples are *not* exhaustive and you can use S3 in other 
places as well, including your [high availability setup]({{< ref 
"docs/deployment/ha/overview" >}}) or the [EmbeddedRocksDBStateBackend]({{< ref 
"docs/ops/state/state_backends" >}}#the-rocksdbstatebackend); everywhere that 
Flink expects a FileSystem URI (unless otherwise stated).
 
-For most use cases, you may use one of our `flink-s3-fs-hadoop` and 
`flink-s3-fs-presto` S3 filesystem plugins which are self-contained and easy to 
set up.
-For some cases, however, e.g., for using S3 as YARN's resource storage dir, it 
may be necessary to set up a specific Hadoop S3 filesystem implementation.
+## S3 FileSystem Implementations
 
-### Hadoop/Presto S3 File Systems plugins
+Flink provides three independent S3 filesystem implementations, each with 
different trade-offs:
+
+- **Native S3 FileSystem** (`flink-s3-fs-native`): Built directly on AWS SDK 
v2 with async I/O and parallel transfers removing the dependency from hadoop 
entirely. This implementation supports both checkpointing and the FileSystem 
sink. The Native S3 FileSystem aims to provide integrated support for 
checkpointing as well as FileSystem sink, removing the need to use Presto S3 
FileSystem for checkpointing and Hadoop S3 FileSystem for the FileSystem sink. 
[Benchmarks](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=406620396)
 show ~2x higher checkpoint throughput (~200 MB/s vs ~90 MB/s) compared to the 
Presto implementation at state sizes up to 15 GB. **Experimental** in Flink 2.3.
+- **Presto S3 FileSystem** (`flink-s3-fs-presto`): Based on Presto project 
code, recommended for checkpointing.

Review Comment:
   I am curiou why this is recommended for checkpointing when the new native 
version has checkpointing support. What are the pros and cons of implementing 
checkpointing between these 2 connectors and why is presto recommended?
