Description

Currently, It's very simple to test Quickwit locally using a basic source file and a file input. But creating and testing sources for things like Kafka and Kinesis take more time and involve a lot of repeated steps which can be simplified into a common set of scripts.

Hopefully, this should save people from repeating the same set of steps over and over again and also save the extra leg work required by each person trying to test locally for each source.

For example, we could have a script that setup Kafka or Kinesis and pre-loads some data on them to be indexed by Quickwit.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing local testing workflow for a basic source file and file input, then identify the repeated setup and data-loading steps for Kafka and Kinesis. Done means common utility scripts can set up those sources and preload data for indexing by Quickwit during local tests.
