Class SocketClientSink<IN>

  • Type Parameters:
    IN - data to be written into the Socket.
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.Function, org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.RichFunction, SinkFunction<IN>

    @Internal
    public class SocketClientSink<IN>
    extends RichSinkFunction<IN>
    Deprecated.
    This interface will be removed in future versions. Use the new Sink interface instead.
    Socket client that acts as a streaming sink. The data is sent to a Socket as a byte array.

    The sink can be set to retry message sends after the sending failed.

    The sink can be set to 'autoflush', in which case the socket stream is flushed after every message. This significantly reduced throughput, but also decreases message latency.

      • SocketClientSink

        public SocketClientSink​(String hostName,
                                int port,
                                org.apache.flink.api.common.serialization.SerializationSchema<IN> schema)
        Deprecated.
        Creates a new SocketClientSink. The sink will not attempt to retry connections upon failure and will not auto-flush the stream.
        Parameters:
        hostName - Hostname of the server to connect to.
        port - Port of the server.
        schema - Schema used to serialize the data into bytes.
      • SocketClientSink

        public SocketClientSink​(String hostName,
                                int port,
                                org.apache.flink.api.common.serialization.SerializationSchema<IN> schema,
                                int maxNumRetries)
        Deprecated.
        Creates a new SocketClientSink that retries connections upon failure up to a given number of times. A value of -1 for the number of retries will cause the system to retry an infinite number of times. The sink will not auto-flush the stream.
        Parameters:
        hostName - Hostname of the server to connect to.
        port - Port of the server.
        schema - Schema used to serialize the data into bytes.
        maxNumRetries - The maximum number of retries after a message send failed.
