Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was browsing through the list of supported EventSources, and couldn't find the right connector. Specifically, I wanted to try and get these events: https://stream.meetup.com/2/rsvps

I understand that some streaming APIs might also behave in this manner.

Describe the solution you'd like
An EventSource for streaming APIs that uses websockets as a connection.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Stream processors that can be written in Spark, Flink etc. But that's overkill in my opinion. I can write my own listeners, but if it's a streaming JSON API, it might be good to standardize on it.

Additional context
API Endpoint Example: https://stream.meetup.com/2/rsvps
But generally, I think this proposed EventSource should use the websocket protocol to connect and just send the messages to the EventBus. I can write the code if this enhancement gets accepted.
