> Hi @shouweikun , I have went through the pull request. However, supporting sink parallelism for Hive and Filesytem is not just changing parallelism of the writer DataStream. We should first support `ParallelismProvider` for `DataStreamSinkProvider` first. Because if the sink parallelism is different than the upstream operator, we should implicitly add a keyby shuffle if there is changelog in the stream, otherwise the chvangelog will be out of order. See > > https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/95257a255f0da0a95b31647c6d057914d5748871/flink-table/flink-table-planner-blink/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/table/planner/plan/nodes/exec/common/CommonExecSink.java#L116 Hi @wuchong, thanks for ur review and comment. As far as I’m concerned, it shall be under well discussed whether `DataStreamSinkProvider` inherits `ParallelismProvider` or not. Referring to [FLIP-146](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-146%3A+Improve+new+TableSource+and+TableSink+interfaces), only `SinkFunctionProvider` and `OutputFormatProvider ` inherit `ParallelismProvider`. Well, correct me if I'm wrong, both `DatastreamScanProvider` and `DataStreamSinkProvider` are designed for advanced user, which means that once user choose `DataStreamProvider`, the more freedom the user has and the more responsibility the user take. What 's more, `DataStreamSinkProvider` inheriting `ParallelismProvider` may still not guarantee the parallelism configured correctly, cuz user can do anything in `DataStreamSinkProvider#getRuntimeProvider`. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
