Practical Real-time Data Processing and Analytics

Overview of this book

With the rise of Big Data, there is an increasing need to process large amounts of data continuously, with a shorter turnaround time. Real-time data processing involves continuous input, processing and output of data, with the condition that the time required for processing is as short as possible. This book covers the majority of the existing and evolving open source technology stack for real-time processing and analytics. You will get to know about all the real-time solution aspects, from the source to the presentation to persistence. Through this practical book, you’ll be equipped with a clear understanding of how to solve challenges on your own. We’ll cover topics such as how to set up components, basic executions, integrations, advanced use cases, alerts, and monitoring. You’ll be exposed to the popular tools used in real-time processing today such as Apache Spark, Apache Flink, and Storm. Finally, you will put your knowledge to practical use by implementing all of the techniques in the form of a practical, real-world use case. By the end of this book, you will have a solid understanding of all the aspects of real-time data processing and analytics, and will know how to deploy the solutions in production environments in the best possible manner.

Preface

Do It Yourself


We will build a use case using filters, group by, and aggregators. The use case finds the top 10 devices that generate the maximum data in a batch. Here is the pseudo code:

  • Write a data generator that will publish an event with fields such as phone number, bytes in and bytes out
  • The data generator will publish events in Kafka
  • Write a topology program:
    • To get the events from Kafka
    • Apply filter to exclude phone number to take part in top 10
    • Split event on the basis of comma
    • Perform group by operation to bring same phone numbers together
    • Perform aggregate and sum out bytes in and bytes out together
    • Now, apply assembly with the FirstN function which requires the field name and number elements to be calculated
    • And finally display it on the console

You will find the code in the code bundle for reference.
