Flux Examples

A collection of examples illustrating various capabilities.

Building From Source and Running

Checkout the projects source and perform a top level Maven build (i.e. from the flux directory):

git clone https://github.com/apache/storm.git
cd storm
mvn install -DskipTests=true

This will create a shaded (i.e. “fat” or “uber”) jar in the external/flux/flux-examples/target directory that can run/deployed with the storm command:

cd flux-examples
storm jar ./target/flux-examples-*-SNAPSHOT.jar org.apache.storm.flux.Flux --local ./src/main/resources/simple_wordcount.yaml

The example YAML files are also packaged in the examples jar, so they can also be referenced with Flux's --resource command line switch:

storm jar ./target/flux-examples-*.jar org.apache.storm.flux.Flux --local --resource /simple_wordcount.yaml

Available Examples

simple_wordcount.yaml

This is a very basic wordcount example using Java spouts and bolts. It simply logs the running count of each word received.

multilang.yaml

Another wordcount example that uses a spout written in JavaScript (node.js), a bolt written in Python, and two bolts written in java.

kafka_spout.yaml

This example illustrates how to configure Storm's storm-kafka spout using Flux YAML DSL components, references, and constructor arguments constructs.

simple_hdfs.yaml

This example demonstrates using Flux to setup a storm-hdfs bolt to write to an HDFS cluster. It also demonstrates Flux's variable substitution/filtering feature.

To run the simple_hdfs.yaml example, copy the hdfs_bolt.properties file to a convenient location and change, at least, the property hdfs.url to point to a HDFS cluster. Then you can run the example something like:

storm jar ./target/flux-examples-*.jar org.apache.storm.flux.Flux --local ./src/main/resources/simple_hdfs.yaml --filter my_hdfs_bolt.properties

simple_hbase.yaml

This example illustrates how to use Flux to setup a storm-hbase bolt to write to HBase.

To run the simple_hbase.yaml example, copy the hbase_bolt.properties file to a convenient location and change the properties hbase.rootdir and hbase.zookeeper.quorum. Then you can run the example something like:

storm jar ./target/flux-examples-*.jar org.apache.storm.flux.Flux --local ./src/main/resources/simple_hbase.yaml --filter my_hbase_bolt.properties

simple_windowing.yaml

This example illustrates how to use Flux to set up a storm topology that contains windowing operations.

To run,

storm jar ./target/flux-examples-*.jar org.apache.storm.flux.Flux --local ./src/main/resources/simple_windowing.yaml

simple_stateful_wordcount.yaml

Flux also supports stateful bolts which is illustrated with this example. It is basically an extension of the basic wordcount example. The state is periodically saved (checkpointed) and restored when the topology is restarted.

storm jar ./target/flux-examples-*.jar org.apache.storm.flux.Flux --local ./src/main/resources/simple_stateful_wordcount.yaml

By default the state is stored in-memory only. As such you won't see a resumed state unless you configure to use Redis as the state backend. Ensure that you have Redis running at localhost:6379 and that storm-redis-*.jar is in the classpath.

STORM_EXT_CLASSPATH=../../storm-redis/target storm jar ./target/flux-examples-*.jar -c topology.state.provider=org.apache.storm.redis.state.RedisKeyValueStateProvider org.apache.storm.flux.Flux --local ./src/main/resources/simple_stateful_wordcount.yaml
