> The Bundle is very important in the beam model. Users can use the bundle to flush buffer, can reuse many heavyweight resources in a bundle. Most IO plugins use the bundle to flush. 
> Moreover, FlinkRunner can also use Bundle to reduce access to the FlinkState, such as first placed in JavaHeap, flush into RocksDbState when invoke finishBundle , this can reduce the number of serialization.
> But now FlinkRunner calls the finishBundle every processElement. We need support real Bundle.
> I think we can have the following implementations:
> 1.Invoke finishBundle and next startBundle in {{snapshot}} of Flink. But sometimes this "Bundle" maybe too big. This depends on the user's checkpoint configuration.
> 2.Manually control the size of the bundle. The half-bundle will be flushed to a full-bundle by count or eventTime or processTime or {{snapshot}}. We do not need to wait, just call the startBundle and finishBundle at the right time.
