Overview of this book

Apache Storm is a real-time Big Data processing framework that processes large amounts of data reliably, guaranteeing that every message will be processed. Storm allows you to scale your data as it grows, making it an excellent platform to solve your big data problems. This extensive guide will help you understand right from the basics to the advanced topics of Storm. The book begins with a detailed introduction to real-time processing and where Storm fits in to solve these problems. You’ll get an understanding of deploying Storm on clusters by writing a basic Storm Hello World example. Next we’ll introduce you to Trident and you’ll get a clear understanding of how you can develop and deploy a trident topology. We cover topics such as monitoring, Storm Parallelism, scheduler and log processing, in a very easy to understand manner. You will also learn how to integrate Storm with other well-known Big Data technologies such as HBase, Redis, Kafka, and Hadoop to realize the full potential of Storm. With real-world examples and clear explanations, this book will ensure you will have a thorough mastery of Apache Storm.

Preface

Splitting the Apache log line


Now, we are creating a new topology, which will read the data from Kafka using the KafkaSpout spout. In this section, we are writing an ApacheLogSplitter bolt, that has a logic to fetch the IP, status code, referrer, bytes sent, and so on, information from the Apache log line. As this is a new topology, we must first create the new project.

  1. Create a new Maven project with groupId as com.stormadvance and artifactId as logprocessing.
  2. Add the following dependencies in the pom.xml file:
       <dependency> 
             <groupId>org.apache.storm</groupId> 
             <artifactId>storm-core</artifactId> 
             <version>1.0.2</version> 
             <scope>provided</scope> 
       </dependency> 
 
       <!-- Utilities --> 
       <dependency> 
             <groupId>commons-collections</groupId> 
             <artifactId>commons-collections</artifactId> 
        ...
