This PR adds an optional component to the value created in continuous ingest. A random portion of data will be inserted into the value whose size is determined via a zipfian distribution.

The motivation behind this is to add optional variance to the sizes of values that are inserted via continuous ingest. Zipfian distribution was selected since it tends to correspond to the distribution of real-world events.

I haven't tried running this, but I'm fine with merging this sooner rather than wait, if you want to get it in to test with it. It can always be improved later. The testing repo is really for us anyway, not something we release.
