Storm Real-time Processing Cookbook

By: Quinton Anderson

Overview of this book

<p>Storm is a free and open source distributed real-time computation system. Storm makes it easy to reliably process unbounded streams of data, doing for real-time processing what Hadoop did for batch processing. Storm is simple, can be used with any programming language, and is a lot of fun to use!<br />Storm Real Time Processing Cookbook will have basic to advanced recipes on Storm for real-time computation.<br /><br />The book begins with setting up the development environment and then teaches log stream processing. This will be followed by real-time payments workflow, distributed RPC, integrating it with other software such as Hadoop and Apache Camel, and more.</p>

Deploying to the cluster

The final step in the development process is to functionally test the topology in a cluster before promoting it to the next environment.

How to do it…

  1. First you need to configure the Storm client on your host development machine by creating the .storm folder in your user home directory. Create storm.yaml in this folder with the following content:

    storm.local.dir: "/mnt/storm"
nimbus.host: "192.168.33.100"

  2. Package your topology using the following command within the project's root:

    mvn package

  3. This will produce a completely packaged JAR in the target folder of the project. You can deploy this to the cluster using the storm client command:

    storm jar jarName.jar [TopologyName] [Args]

How it works…

The storm command-line client provides you with all the tools you need to control the cluster's functionality. Part of this is the ability to deploy packaged topologies. For more information on the storm CLI, please review the detailed documentation on the wiki at https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Command-line-client.
