Research direction

Start by reviewing streamz's existing source implementations and source API, then investigate how BlueZ exposes BLE 4.0 device UUIDs. Define how a user-specified interval drives detection and how each UUID enters the remaining pipeline. Done means the source reports detected device UUIDs at that interval in a form the pipeline can consume.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The idea of this source would be to simply report back the UUID of each detected BLE 4.0 device at a user defined interval. Interesting streaming use cases can be created from examining these events in a device specific (IoT) context. Those events can then be processed by the remaining pipeline.
