  * Note that new resources are created only at chunk boundaries i.e. the number of items
  * written into one resource is between the limit set by
- * {@link #setItemCountLimitPerResource(int)} and (limit + chunk size).
+ * <p>
+ * This writer will create an output file only when there are items to write, which means
+ * there would be no empty file created if no items are passed (for example when all items
+ * are filtered or skipped during the processing phase).
