             Summary: Reduce scope for SourceOperator arguments and initialize 
more eagerly
                 Key: FLINK-17699
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17699
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: API / DataStream
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
            Assignee: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 1.11.0


Currently, the {{SourceOperator}} only gets a {{Source}} in the constructor.

All actual components that the {{SourceOperator}} relies on when working are 
lazily initialized, in {{open()}} or via setters.

Relying on something as broad as {{Source}} also means that a lot of redundant 
context has to be provided to the {{SourceOperator}} during initialization. The 
{{Source}} is, for example, also responsible for the {{SourceEnumerator}}, 
which is independent of the {{SourceOperator}}. However, it needs to be 
considered during testing, now, because the tests need to mock a full 
{{Source}} in order to instantiate a {{SourceOperator}}.

The solution is to directly pass the collaborators of the {{SourceOperator}} 
directly eagerly into the constructor. It is not fully possible with the 
{{SourceReader}}, but for that we can at least reduce the scope by passing a 
targeted factory function.
