Class IRichBoltDelegate

java.lang.Object

backtype.storm.topology.IRichBoltDelegate

All Implemented Interfaces:

IBolt, IRichBolt, IComponent, java.io.Serializable

public class IRichBoltDelegate
extends java.lang.Object
implements IRichBolt

When writing topologies using Java, IRichBolt and IRichSpout are the main interfaces to use to implement components of the topology.

Method Detail

prepare

public void prepare(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> conf,
                    TopologyContext context,
                    OutputCollector collector)

Description copied from interface: IBolt

Called when a task for this component is initialized within a worker on the cluster. It provides the bolt with the environment in which the bolt executes.

This includes the:

Specified by:

prepare in interface IBolt

Parameters:

conf - The Heron configuration for this bolt. This is the configuration provided to the topology merged in with cluster configuration on this machine.

context - This object can be used to get information about this task's place within the topology, including the task id and component id of this task, input and output information, etc.

collector - The collector is used to emit tuples from this bolt. Tuples can be emitted at any time, including the prepare and cleanup methods. The collector is thread-safe and should be saved as an instance variable of this bolt object.

cleanup

public void cleanup()

Description copied from interface: IBolt

Called when an IBolt is going to be shutdown. There is no guarentee that cleanup will be called, because the supervisor kill -9's worker processes on the cluster.

The one context where cleanup is guaranteed to be called is when a topology is killed when running Heron in simulator.

Specified by:

cleanup in interface IBolt

execute

public void execute(Tuple tuple)

Description copied from interface: IBolt

Process a single tuple of input. The Tuple object contains metadata on it about which component/stream/task it came from. The values of the Tuple can be accessed using Tuple#getValue. The IBolt does not have to process the Tuple immediately. It is perfectly fine to hang onto a tuple and process it later (for instance, to do an aggregation or join).

Tuples should be emitted using the OutputCollector provided through the prepare method. It is required that all input tuples are acked or failed at some point using the OutputCollector. Otherwise, Heron will be unable to determine when tuples coming off the spouts have been completed.

For the common case of acking an input tuple at the end of the execute method, see IBasicBolt which automates this.

Specified by:

execute in interface IBolt

Parameters:

tuple - The input tuple to be processed.

declareOutputFields

public void declareOutputFields(OutputFieldsDeclarer declarer)

Description copied from interface: IComponent

Declare the output schema for all the streams of this topology.

Specified by:

declareOutputFields in interface IComponent

Parameters:

declarer - this is used to declare output stream ids, output fields, and whether or not each output stream is a direct stream

getComponentConfiguration

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> getComponentConfiguration()

Description copied from interface: IComponent

Declare configuration specific to this component. Only a subset of the "topology.*" configs can be overridden. The component configuration can be further overridden when constructing the topology using TopologyBuilder

Specified by:

getComponentConfiguration in interface IComponent
