Description

Currently the RollingFileSink is hard-wired to use a specific PathManager that creates file based on a timestamp and and incrementing value. User's should have the ability to add a prefix to the file name and to add a file extension to properly identify the type of data in the file. In addition, user's should have the ability to provide their own PathManager implementation to allow them to construct the file names and locations however they desire.
