             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Streaming Connectors
            Reporter: Subhobrata Dey


Hello,

This issue is created to propose the idea of having a flink-streaming-akka source connector. 
The source connector can be used to receive messages from an Akka feeder or publisher actor & these messages can then be processed using flink streaming.
The source connector has the following features.

1. It can supports several different message formats like iterable data, bytes array & data with timestamp.

2. It can send back acknowledgements to the feeder actor.

Thanks & regards,
Subhobrata
