             Summary: Support a time based rollover of part file in Bucketing 
Sink
                 Key: FLINK-9118
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9118
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: filesystem-connector
            Reporter: Lakshmi Rao


In the current implementation, the BucketingSink rolls over a part file based 
on a _batchSize_ 
([here|https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/release-1.4.0/flink-connectors/flink-connector-filesystem/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/connectors/fs/bucketing/BucketingSink.java#L459]).
  Can we also support a roll over based on a constant time interval? This is 
not the same as the _inactiveBucketCheckInterval_ as this bucket is not truly 
inactive, it's still being written to but just has to be flushed every X 
minutes, where X is a user-specified time interval. 

The change would involve tracking a _bucketCreationTime_ in the BucketState 
(much like the _lastWrittenToTime_) whenever a new part file is opened and 
would include a condition to check _currentProcessingTime_ - 
_bucketCreationTime_ > X in the _shouldRoll_ method.
