moving this out of draft.
Beyond the code wanted to discuss high level API design for branch writes
using FlinkSink. In the current implementation we're using a FlinkWriteOption
so it looks like this:
```
FlinkSink sink = FlinkSink.forRow(dataStream, SimpleDataUtil.FLINK_SCHEMA)
.table(table)
.tableLoader(tableLoader)
.set("write-format", "avro")
.set(FlinkWriteOptions.BRANCH, "some-branch")
.set(FlinkWriteOptions.OVERWRITE_MODE, "true")
```
As I implemented this though started to think we may just want to have a
direct branch method on the FlinkSink builder itself. That seems more intuitive
from an API perspective and is just easier to use
```
FlinkSink sink = FlinkSink.forRow(dataStream, SimpleDataUtil.FLINK_SCHEMA)
.table(table)
.tableLoader(tableLoader)
.branch("some-branch")
.set("write-format", "avro")
.set(FlinkWriteOptions.OVERWRITE_MODE, "true")
```
