Goal: To provide a non-exhaustive but interesting demonstration of Apache NiFi and Apache Flink working together

Description: I will use NiFi and Flink together to simulate a simplified trading ecosystem of Brokers and Day Traders, with streaming market data, orders, executions and P/L results. In truth, I could likely do all this with Flink alone, but NiFi offers a data provenance tracking and query feature that would be useful for compliance monitoring, which is critical in today's highly-regulated financial world.
