This flush() might be a noop if bulkRequest.numberOfActions() == 0 in the
bulkProcessor implementation.
If so, this loop turns into a busy loop wasting CPU cycles.
I wonder if we should wait on the numPendingRequests and notify on it once
we update it?
(Sorry that I bring this up in the second review)
> Proper at-least-once support for ElasticsearchSink

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug

> Currently, the Elasticsearch Sink actually doesn't offer any guarantees for
> message delivery.
> For proper support of at-least-once, the sink will need to participate in
> Flink's checkpointing: when snapshotting is triggered at the
> {{ElasticsearchSink}}, we need to synchronize on the pending ES requests by
> flushing the internal bulk processor. For temporary ES failures (see
> FLINK-5122) that may happen on the flush, we should retry them before
> returning from snapshotting and acking the checkpoint. If there are
> non-temporary ES failures on the flush, the current snapshot should fail.
