[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-19481) Add support for a flink native GCS
FileSystem
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19481?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17337835#comment-17337835 ]
Ben Augarten commented on FLINK-19481:
--------------------------------------
We've been using a non-hadoop implementation of a GCSFileSystem for a few months now in production. I think it's in a good place to open source / contribute back if there is consensus that such a plugin is worth adding to open source flink.
If there is consensus, I am happy to work on a PR
> Add support for a flink native GCS FileSystem
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-19481
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19481
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors / FileSystem, FileSystems
> Affects Versions: 1.12.0
> Reporter: Ben Augarten
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: auto-deprioritized-major
>
> Currently, GCS is supported but only by using the hadoop connector[1]
>
> The objective of this improvement is to add support for checkpointing to Google Cloud Storage with the Flink File System,
>
> This would allow the `gs://` scheme to be used for savepointing and checkpointing. Long term, it would be nice if we could use the GCS FileSystem as a source and sink in flink jobs as well.
>
> Long term, I hope that implementing a flink native GCS FileSystem will simplify usage of GCS because the hadoop FileSystem ends up bringing in many unshaded dependencies.
