Why use Storm?
Apache Storm is a free and open source distributed realtime computation system. Storm makes it easy to reliably process unbounded streams of data, doing for realtime 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!
Storm has many use cases: realtime analytics, online machine learning, continuous computation, distributed RPC, ETL, and more. Storm is fast: a benchmark clocked it at over a million tuples processed per second per node. It is scalable, fault-tolerant, guarantees your data will be processed, and is easy to set up and operate.
Storm integrates with the queueing and database technologies you already use. A Storm topology consumes streams of data and processes those streams in arbitrarily complex ways, repartitioning the streams between each stage of the computation however needed. Read more in the tutorial.
概念
The concepts discussed are:
- Topologies
- Streams
- Spouts
- Bolts
- Stream groupings
- Reliability
- Tasks
- Workers
官网说明：http://storm.apache.org/releases/0.9.6/Concepts.html
Topologies
拓扑结构：实时应用程序的逻辑被打包到storm拓扑里面了。一个拓扑就是由 spouts 和 bolts 作为节点，通过 stream groupings 链接起来的图。
Stream
数据流，由 tuples 组成的数据流，默认包含integers, longs, shorts, bytes, strings, doubles, floats, booleans, and byte arrays.也可以自定义
每个stream声明都有个ID, 默认ID是'default'
Spouts
水龙头，拓扑的数据源，通常spouts从外部源读取tuples并且emit发射到拓扑流程中。spouts可以是可靠的也可以是非可靠的，
Bolts
水阀，所有的处理都是在bolts里完成的
Stream groupings
在bolts的任务中定义了stream被分流的规则。包含多种grouping
1.Shuffle grouping : 随机分发
2.Fields grouping : 指定fields
3.All grouping : 分发到全部bolts中
4.Global grouping : 分发到id最小的task中
5.None grouping :
6.Direct grouping :
7.Local or Shuffle grouping :
Reliability
fail ack 方法
Tasks
执行线程
Workers
一个worker就是一个jvm,里面会执行很多tasks,
Nimbus(Master)
集群管理，接收Jar包，调度topology
Supervisor(Slave)
启动worker
Worker
一个JVM进程资源分配的单位
Executor
实际干活的线程
ZooKeeper
存储状态信息，调度信息，心跳
Supervisor向ZK写信息，Nimbus通过ZK获取这些信息，这样nimbus就知道各个slaves的状态信息。
