---------------------------------------

Hi [~HilmiYildirim], I gave you "Contributor" permissions in our JIRA to assign you to this issue.

Thank you for impoving the TwitterSource. I recently came across the code as well and found it in a pretty bad shape. I opened FLINK-1964 back then, but I agree that we need to have this second issue as well.
I'll have a look at your pull request soon...

> Flink does not have a real twitter support. It only has a TwitterSource which uses a sample stream which can not be used properly for analysis. It is possible to use external tools to create streams (e.g. Kafka) but it is beneficially to create a propert twitter stream in Flink.
