Answer 1

You can implement a custom sink. Inherit from one of both:

• org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.sink.SinkFunction
• org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.sink.RichSinkFunction

In your program use:

stream.addSink(SinkFunction<T> sinkFunction);

instead of stream.writeCsv("/output/somewhere").
