Apache Gearpump is a real-time big data streaming engine. The name Gearpump is a reference to the engineering term “gear pump” which is a super simple pump that consists of only two gears, but is very powerful at streaming water. Different to other streaming engines, Gearpump's engine is event/message based. Per initial benchmarks we are able to process 18 million messages per second (message length is 100 bytes) with a 8ms latency on a 4-node cluster.
The Highlights
- Extremely high throughput and low latency stream processing
- Configurable message delivery guarantee (at least once, exactly once)
- Application hot re-deployment
- Comprehensive Dashboard for application monitoring
- Native Storm Application compatibility
- Native Samoa Application compatibility
- Friendly and extensible APIs
Getting Started

Apache Incubation Disclaimer
Apache Gearpump is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
Apache Gearpump (incubating) is available under Apache License, version 2.0.
