Hi community, According to the [docs]( https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/docs/connectors/table/filesystem/#partition-commit-policy), if I create a Hive table with config sink.partition-commit.policy.kind="metastore,success-file", once the write to the **streaming** Hive sink is finished:
- The HDFS directory will be registered to the Hive metastore, - There will be a _SUCCESS file written to the directory when the job finishes. An example result directory on HDFS looks like this: [10.106.11.21:serv@cn-hz-wl-prod-data-stat00:~]$ hdfs dfs -ls /user/hive/warehouse/aiinfra.db/user_loss_predictions/p_day=20210819 Found 9 items -rw-r----- 2 basedata aiinfra 0 2021-08-20 08:56 /user/hive/warehouse/aiinfra.db/user_loss_predictions/p_day=20210819/_SUCCESS -rw-r----- 2 basedata aiinfra 10684668 2021-08-20 08:49 /user/hive/warehouse/aiinfra.db/user_loss_predictions/p_day=20210819/part-3ee91bc0-a5f6-44c9-b2e5-3d50ee882028-0-0 -rw-r----- 2 basedata aiinfra 10712792 2021-08-20 08:48 /user/hive/warehouse/aiinfra.db/user_loss_predictions/p_day=20210819/part-3ee91bc0-a5f6-44c9-b2e5-3d50ee882028-1-0 -rw-r----- 2 basedata aiinfra 10759066 2021-08-20 08:46 /user/hive/warehouse/aiinfra.db/user_loss_predictions/p_day=20210819/part-3ee91bc0-a5f6-44c9-b2e5-3d50ee882028-2-0 -rw-r----- 2 basedata aiinfra 10754886 2021-08-20 08:46 /user/hive/warehouse/aiinfra.db/user_loss_predictions/p_day=20210819/part-3ee91bc0-a5f6-44c9-b2e5-3d50ee882028-3-0 -rw-r----- 2 basedata aiinfra 10681155 2021-08-20 08:45 /user/hive/warehouse/aiinfra.db/user_loss_predictions/p_day=20210819/part-3ee91bc0-a5f6-44c9-b2e5-3d50ee882028-4-0 -rw-r----- 2 basedata aiinfra 10725101 2021-08-20 08:46 /user/hive/warehouse/aiinfra.db/user_loss_predictions/p_day=20210819/part-3ee91bc0-a5f6-44c9-b2e5-3d50ee882028-5-0 -rw-r----- 2 basedata aiinfra 10717976 2021-08-20 08:56 /user/hive/warehouse/aiinfra.db/user_loss_predictions/p_day=20210819/part-3ee91bc0-a5f6-44c9-b2e5-3d50ee882028-6-0 -rw-r----- 2 basedata aiinfra 10585453 2021-08-20 08:45 /user/hive/warehouse/aiinfra.db/user_loss_predictions/p_day=20210819/part-3ee91bc0-a5f6-44c9-b2e5-3d50ee882028-7-0 There are 8 part-* files because I set the flink run parallelism to 8. After all part-* are written, a _SUCCESS file is added (see the timestamp 08:56, which is later than all the rest). I wonder: can I do the same with **batch** Hive sink as well? Ideally, after the job finishes, I would like to have a _SUCCESS file added to the directory. However, I haven't figured out how to do it yet. Any help? Thanks! Best, Yik San
