Getting Started with Storm e-bog

Even as big data is turning the world upside down, the next phase of the revolution is already taking shape: real-time data analysis. This hands-on guide introduces you to Storm, a distributed, JVM-based system for processing streaming data. Through simple tutorials, sample Java code, and a complete real-world scenario, youll learn how to build fast, fault-tolerant solutions that process results as soon as the data arrives.Discover how easy it is to set up Storm clusters for solving various problems, including continuous data computation, distributed remote procedure calls, and data stream processing.Learn how to program Storm components: spouts for data input and bolts for data transformationDiscover how data is exchanged between spouts and bolts in a Storm topologyMake spouts fault-tolerant with several commonly used design strategiesExplore boltstheir life cycle, strategies for design, and ways to implement themScale your solution by defining each components level of parallelismStudy a real-time web analytics system built with Node.js, a Redis server, and a Storm topologyWrite spouts and bolts with non-JVM languages such as Python, Ruby, and Javascript
