Using the SQE topology builder is straightforward. You just launch the topology using Storm with appropriate command line options:
storm jar sqe.jar com.jwplayer.sqe.Topology --config ./conf/conf.yaml --commands ./commands/commands1.json /my/commands/commands2.json --name=my-topology
The locations of config and command files can be specified using a URI. For example
file:///conf/conf.yaml
You can see all of the command line options by running:
java jar sqe.jar com.jwplayer.sqe.Topology --help
Refer to the Commands section for more information on the JSON command format and the Options section for more information on the options and config file format.
