Cakephp 3 and custom datasources

Hi,

For my current project I need to load data from different locations via API's. I think the best way to do this is to create datasources for it. Sadly I see there is nothing about datasources in the cakephp 3 book (only the text that is can be extended with alternative datasources). 

I also see there is no folder for datasources  in the 'src' folder of the app. So where should I put my datasource? 

I've find an older topic where is mark_story said "Instead custom datasources that don't use sql should provide an implementation of the RepositoryInterface, a query builder and possible a specialized entity object. " (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cake-php/UDDArIYV0nM)

I'm using https://github.com/cakephp/elastic-search as example. but it should be nice if there was a simple example for a custom datasource. and maybe some default features for making a custom datasource easier. I think this is a big missing feature in cakephp 3 at the moment.

So My question is: Are there plans for better support (and documentation) for custom datasources? And is there a easy example how to create one? and How are other developers doing this at the moment? I think it is strange to make a component for receiving data.

Greetings,

Martin
