Changes in this PR

Replaced Java faker with Datafaker (note: I'm one of the contributors). Datafakeris a direct fork of Javafaker and was created because Java faker has a few security issues, several bugs, and is no longer maintained (no release for 2+ years). Datafaker is very similar in terms of API, but is maintained, and we release new features and bugfixes every month.

Alternatives considered
