Hi Zhiwei, Thanks for proposing STIP-23! Timer-based flush support at the engine level is a valuable addition for Sink connectors, especially for scenarios where upstream data flow is sparse or unpredictable, and a time-driven flush can help ensure data is written in a timely manner.
I've taken a look at the issue. A few initial thoughts: 1. Configurability — It would be good to make the flush interval configurable per connector or at the job level, so users can tune it based on their specific latency and throughput requirements. 2. Interaction with checkpoint mechanism — How does the timer flush interact with the existing checkpoint-triggered flush? We should make sure the two mechanisms don't conflict or cause duplicate flushes. Overall, this looks like a useful feature. Looking forward to the detailed design document! +1 to proceed.
