   Thanks for the review @exceptionfactory. I made some changes to:
   - use Faker's providers whenever possible - there is only a few places left 
where I keep a list of values but those are very standard (log level, etc)
   - rename the field names to be more aligned with what schema.org is 
suggesting for similar objects
   
   I would definitely not go with the suggestion of having some Avro schemas in 
some place (even if it was in an additionalDetails page on the processor) 
because an avro schema does not rely on the Faker's providers. It only looks at 
the field types and would generate something completely random which is really 
not great.
   
   Besides the goal is really to make it dead easy to generate some data for 
users. I find myself wasting a lot of time configuring this processor when I 
want to generate some basic data for quick demos/tests. I think this would be 
very helpful for users to have this option.
