[FLINK-8125] [core] Introduce limiting of file system connections ## What is the purpose of the change This change introduces a way to limit the number of streams that Flink FileSystems concurrently open. For example, for very small HDFS clusters with few RPC handlers, a large Flink job trying to build up many connections during a checkpoint causes failures due to rejected connections. For example, by adding setting like `fs.hdfs.limit.total: 128`, this would limit the total number of connections per TaskManager to the filesystem with scheme "hdfs" to 128. ## Brief change log - Adds the `LimitedConnectionsFileSystem` which can wrap existing file systems and track and limit the number of input- and output streams - Adds code to `FileSystem` to wrap the file system factories in `ConnectionLimitingFactory` which wraps the file system in a `LimitedConnectionsFileSystem` if connection limiting is configured. - Adds documentation for Flink's file system support in general, including the here added configuration settings ## Verifying this change - This change is covered by various unit tests: - `LimitedConnectionsFileSystemTest` - `LimitedConnectionsFileSystemDelegationTest` - `LimitedConnectionsConfigurationTest` ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (yes / **no)** - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (yes / **no)** - The serializers: (yes / **no** / don't know) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (yes / **no** / don't know) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (yes / **no** / don't know) - The S3 file system connector: (yes / **no** / don't know) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? (**yes** / no) - If yes, how is the feature documented?
