This issue order makes sense to me, based on simplicity and complexity of improvement:
> > STREAMS-403(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STREAMS-403) > > Ensure all providers function stand-alone > > STREAMS-411(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STREAMS-411) > > ability (and instructions on how) to run providers directly from console > > STREAMS-422(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STREAMS-422) > > SNS providers should emit appropriately typed documents by default > > STREAMS-415(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STREAMS-415) > > Proof of concept integration test that pulls actual data from generator In terms of which providers to target in what order, I’d suggest: twitter instagram rss youtube facebook gplus sysomos moreover Further down the list: more uncertainly about what exactly to do, how to do it, how to live test it, higher likelihood of encountering technical debt. If anyone wants to take a shot at any piece of this, go for it. No need for omni-bus PRs covering a full story or a full provider, every incremental improvement helps. I’ll happily code review any PR that’s opened and help get it finished.
