Patrick Wendell commented on FLUME-1490:
----------------------------------------
I had started a discussion about a load-generating source earlier that was
configurable. My thought was that rather than a fixed event count, you really
wanted something that generates events at a fixed _rate_. For instance, to
mimic a given rate you'd expect from your data source.
Will - what is the use case for having a fixed count? Just to limit the length
of an experiment?

> Currently the Stress source (used for testing purposes) has a 'size' prop to
> control the size of each event. It would be useful to also have a 'count'
> prop to control the number of events sent. When that limit is reached, the
> source's process() method can simply return Status.BACKOFF
