The difference is pretty much described by the name. A pollable source will get regularly polled by the source runner asking it to generate events. An event driven source is responsible for generating the events itself and normally does this in response to some event happening. Have a look at SequenceGeneretorSource for an example of polling and ExecSource for an example of an event driven source.

Hi,

I was trying to understand PollableSource and EventDrivenSource, but got confused. Is the difference based on how Events are consumed by Channel or something else.

Also, how to decide which one to use while implementing a custom Source.

thanks
