Andrew Roberts commented on FLINK-14034:
----------------------------------------
[~pnowojski] the catch here is, ultimately something implementing a sink
interface must be passed to {{addSink()}}. It is not possible to wrap the
{{TwoPhaseCommitSink}} version of invoke, because I can't reproduce the method
signature (due to the private type at the root of this conversation). I suppose
I could wrap a different invoke method, but my confidence in those other
methods being called is low, since they all seem to funnel to the main
implementation (which again is inaccessible).
Your point about assuming the underlying instance can recover after an
exception is a good one - I hadn't considered that.

> Key: FLINK-14034
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14034
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Connectors / Kafka
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0
> Reporter: Niels van Kaam
> Priority: Trivial
>
> It is not possible to override the invoke method of the FlinkKafkaProducer,
> because the first parameter, KafkaTransactionState, is a private inner class.
> It is not possible to override the original invoke of SinkFunction, because
> TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction (which is implemented by FlinkKafkaProducer) does
> override the original invoke method with final.

> If there is a particular reason for this, it would be better to make the
> invoke method in FlinkKafkaProducer final as well, and document the reason
> such that it is clear this is by design (I don't see any overrides in the
> same package).
> Otherwise, I would make the KafkaTransactionState publicly visible. I would
> like to override the Invoke method to create a custom KafkaProducer which
> performs some additional generic validations and transformations. (which can
> also be done in a process-function, but a custom sink would simplify the code
> of jobs)
