This firehose connects directly to the twitter spritzer data stream.
Sample spec:
"firehose" : { "type" : "twitzer", "maxEventCount": -1, "maxRunMinutes": 0 }
| property | description | default | required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | This should be “twitzer” | N/A | yes |
| maxEventCount | max events to receive, -1 is infinite, 0 means nothing is delivered; use this to prevent infinite space consumption or to prevent getting throttled at an inconvenient time. | N/A | yes |
| maxRunMinutes | maximum number of minutes to fetch Twitter events. Use this to prevent getting throttled at an inconvenient time. If zero or less, no time limit for run. | N/A | yes |
