Hi,
are we talking about the Plan View in the JobManager dashboard? If yes,
then I expect there to be only one "box" for the combination of filter and
sink because they are chained together to avoid sending data.
For debugging, could you maybe change check() to always return true and see
if you then yet your messages from the sink?
Cheers,
Aljoscha
