@MikeEdgar could you create the data-generator repository in quay?

@katheris , can we call it flink-data-generator
? There is also a console-datagen
in StreamsHub.

I don't have a problem with flink-data-generator
but do we really need two different data generators?

Ultimately, probably not. I see that this one is using Avro to generate data and the one we developed for the console is meant to generate variable producer/consumer traffic to put interesting data in the console's metrics graphs.
Build is timing out waiting for someone to agree to install the packages 😬 need to add a -y
to the microdnf commands to say yes we do mean it.

The data generator in this repo is designed specifically to generate data for the examples in this repo, I avoided creating a generic data generator, as there are already other examples of generic data generators for Kafka. I've gone with the name flink-examples-data-generator
so it's very clear what it is for.
@MikeEdgar @SamBarker does that work for you?
I'm not going to hold up anything over it but I do think it's odd to have two unrelated data generators in the same organisation. And yes I get that they have different goals today but I would expect they could be unified into a single tool which could service the needs of both.
