> As far as I know, flink doesn't have a long running WordCount example for
> users to start with or doing some simple tests.
> The closest one is SocketWindowWordCount. But it requires setting up a server
> (nc -l ), which is not hard, but still tedious for simple use cases. And it
> requires human input for the job to actually run.
> I propose to add or modify current WordCount example to have a SourceFunction
> that randomly generates input data based on a set of sentences, so the
> WordCount job can run forever. The generation ratio will be configurable.
> This will be the easiest way to start a long running flink job and can be
> useful for new users to start using flink quickly, or for developers to test
> flink easily.
