------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks [~aljoscha] I put up a pull request to add the new unbounded source.
I did not deal with FileProcessingMode in this pr because it seems to require
some changes in [readTextFile|#L1085] and that might impact other
components/code. I am willing to file a separate issue/PR if you think it makes
sense to do so.

> As far as I know, flink doesn't have a long running WordCount example for
> users to start with or doing some simple tests.
> The closest one is SocketWindowWordCount. But it requires setting up a server
> (nc -l ), which is not hard, but still tedious for simple use cases. And it
> requires human input for the job to actually run.
> I propose to add or modify 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 ratio will be 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.
