Hi Jagadisha, the benefit of using Flink's connector is that you don't have to write the sink function on your own. Moreover, it integrates with Flink's checkpointing mechanism which gives you up to exactly once processing guarantees if the update operation is idempotent.
I've included Chesnay who can give you more details about the implementation details, if you want to hear more.
