Ethanlm opened a new pull request #11432: [FLINK-16517][Examples] Add an 
embedded input to enable a long-running WordCount example
URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/11432
 
 
   ## What is the purpose of the change
   
   This PR modifies the current WordCount example to have a SourceFunction that 
randomly generates input data based on a set of sentences, so the WordCount job 
can run forever. The generation interval is configurable.
   
   This will be the easiest way to start a long running flink job and can be 
useful for new users to start using flink quickly, or for developers to test 
flink easily.
   
   ## Brief change log
   
     - *Added a new SourceFunction `RandomSentenceSource` that generates random 
data continuously until cancellation*
     - *Modified the WordCount example to use the `RandomSentenceSource` as the 
input optionally*
   
   
   ## Verifying this change
   
   This change can be verified as follows:
   
     - *Manually verified the change by running a 1 node cluster with 1 
JobManagers and 1 TaskManagers, submitted the new WordCount jobs with 
`--random` option with different intervals and verified the jobs worked 
correctly.*
