Description
The generator source outputs its batches of events on a fixed schedule, where all of the events are emitted with no delays followed by a fixed duration pause. It would be useful (for what?) to add support for pauses between events as well as support for random length intervals, following a useful probability distribution.

Research direction
Start with the generator source and the discussion referenced in PR #2286. Clarify the intended use case, pause behavior, and probability distribution before identifying the implementation scope. Done means the generator supports pauses between events and random-length intervals.
