Term of the week – Apache Storm

Apache Storm is a system for processing streaming data in real time. Built on top of YARN, it is powerful for real-time analytics, machine learning and continuous monitoring operations.

Some of the important characteristics of Apache Storm are –

  • It is a distributed real-time computation system for processing large volumes of high-velocity data.
  • It is extremely fast with the ability to process one million 100 byte messages per second per node.
  • It is highly scalable.
  • Like other Hadoop systems, it is fault-tolerant and reliable.
  • It guarantees that each unit of data will be processed at least once or exactly once.
  • It is easy to operate.
