+/**
+ * Sink that emits its input elements to rolling {@link org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem} files. This
+ * is integrated with the checkpointing mechanism to provide exactly once semantics.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * When creating the sink a {@code basePath} must be specified. The base directory contains
+ * one directory for every bucket. The bucket directories themselves contain several part files.
+ * These contain the actual written data.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The sink uses a {@link Bucketer} to determine the name of bucket directories inside the
+ * base directory. Whenever the {@code Bucketer} returns a different directory name than
+ * it returned before the sink will close the current part files inside that bucket
+ * and start the new bucket directory. The default bucketer is a {@link DateTimeBucketer} with
+ * date format string {@code ""yyyy-MM-dd--HH"}. You can specify a custom {@code Bucketer}
+ * using {@link #setBucketer(Bucketer)}. For example, use
+ * {@link NonRollingBucketer} if you don't want to have
+ * buckets but still write part files in a fault-tolerant way.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The filenames of the part files contain the part prefix, the parallel subtask index of the sink
+ * and a rolling counter, for example {@code "part-1-17"}. Per default the part prefix is
+ * {@code "part"} but this can be
+ * configured using {@link #setPartPrefix(String)}. When a part file becomes bigger
+ * than the batch size the current part file is closed, the part counter is increased and
+ * a new part file is created. The batch size defaults to {@code 384MB}, this can be configured
+ * using {@link #setBatchSize(long)}.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Part files can be in one of three states: in-progress, pending or finished. The reason for this
+ * is how the sink works together with the checkpointing mechanism to provide exactly-once semantics
+ * and fault-tolerance. The part file that is currently being written to is in-progress. Once
+ * a part file is closed for writing it becomes pending. When a checkpoint is successful the
+ * currently pending files will be moved to finished. If a failure occurs the pending files
+ * will be deleted to reset state to the last checkpoint. The data in in-progress files will
+ * also have to be rolled back. If the {@code FileSystem} supports the {@code truncate} call
+ * this will be used to reset the file back to a previous state. If not, a special file
+ * with the same name as the part file and the suffix {@code ".valid-length"} will be written
+ * that contains the length up to which the file contains valid data. When reading the file
+ * it must be ensured that it is only read up to that point. The prefixes and suffixes for
+ * the different file states and valid-length files can be configured, for example with
+ * {@link #setPendingSuffix(String)}.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Note: If checkpointing is not enabled the pending files will never be moved to the finished state.
+ * In that case, the pending suffix/prefix can be set to {@code ""} to make the sink work
+ * in a non-fault-tolerant way but still provide output without prefixes and suffixes.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The part files are written using an instance of {@link Writer}. By default
+ * {@link org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.fs.StringWriter} is used, which writes the result
+ * of {@code toString()} for every element. Separated by newlines. You can configure the writer
+ * using {@link #setWriter(Writer)}. For example,
+ * {@link org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.fs.SequenceFileWriter} can be used to write
+ * Hadoop {@code SequenceFiles}.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * <pre>{@code
+ *     new RollingSink<Tuple2<IntWritable, Text>>(outPath)
+ *         .setWriter(new SequenceFileWriter<IntWritable, Text>())
+ *         .setBucketer(new DateTimeBucketer("yyyy-MM-dd--HHmm")
+ * }</pre>
+ *
+ * This will create a sink that writes to {@code SequenceFiles} and rolls every minute.
+ *
+ * @see DateTimeBucketer
+ * @see StringWriter
+ * @see SequenceFileWriter
+ *
+ * @param <T> Type of the elements emitted by this sink
+ *
+ * @deprecated use {@link BucketingSink} instead.
