Description

It would be nicer to improve the getting started experience by providing an additional entry point in the StateFun distribution that is built on the Harness.

This can be as simple as providing a Main function that configures RocksDB and starts the StateFun Flink job.

The rest of the configurations needs to come from the module.yaml

 

Having something like that will allow us to simplfy the playground even further by reducing the start time and the memory requirements for a docker-compose based example.
