When will Production ready Http Sink be included in distribution?

[RashmiRam]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are planning to leverage HTTP sink to index the records to Clickhouse. I see the http sink is not enabled in distribution and I understand that the code is not production ready.

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Configurable retryable status codes.
2. Configurable connect timeout, max conns, request timeout, socket timeout, keepalive, etc., to PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager
3. Connection leak needs to be fixed by making use of closable response
4. Http compression for outgoing requests.
5. DLQ as optional setting
6. Removal of http client building from hot path.
7. Last missing flush when iterating over records is required.

Describe alternatives you've considered (Optional)
We built custom data prepper distributions by including all the above.

Some basic functionality exists but it needs to be verified and make sure it works in all cases. May also need to add more test cases before this can be included.

@kkondaka Are there any more items other than the above ones(mentioned in issue description) & tests are planned ?

[kkondaka]

@RashmiRam I will have to check and get back to you. Do you plan to work on it?

[RashmiRam]

Yes. I have added those mentioned support in my fork. I haven't added any tests there. If nobody is working on it, I can submit a PR with tests.
