/**
 * This is an interface for defining BatchSource triggerers. These triggerers trigger
 * the discovery method of the batch source that they are attached to. A BatchSource
 * is configured to use a particular BatchSource Triggerer at the time of job submission.
 *
 * The interface and lifecycle is as follows
 * 1. init - Called after the object is created by reflection.
 *     - The triggerer is created on only one instance of the source job.
 *     - The triggerer is passed its configuration in the init method.
 *     - Trigger also has access to the SourceContext of the BatchSource that it is attached to.
 *       It can use this context to get metadata information about the source as well things like secrets
 *     - This method just inits the triggerer. It doesn't start its execution.
 * 2. start - Is called to actually start the running of the triggerer.
 *     -  Triggerer will use the 'trigger' ConsumerFunction to actually trigger the discovery process
 * 3. stop - Stop from further triggering discovers
 *
