We could definitely use a collection of samples, both to demonstrate the power of Samza as well as to showcase various patterns that'll pop up in Samza apps. The only concern I have is that extra code is extra maintenance, so we need to make sure that (a) the samples are simple enough to be fixed by any dev when the underlying code changes under them and (b) we're ruthless about removing them if they are no longer maintained.
