Interface ISerializer

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

JsonSerializer

public interface ISerializer
extends Serializable

The ISerializer interface describes the methods that an object should implement to provide serialization and de-serialization capabilities to non-JVM language components.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Number	connect(Map<String,Object> conf, TopologyContext context) This method transmits the Storm config to the non-JVM process and receives its pid.
void	initialize(OutputStream processIn, InputStream processOut) This method sets the input and output streams of the serializer.
ShellMsg	readShellMsg() This method receives a shell message from the non-JVM process.
void	writeBoltMsg(BoltMsg msg) This method sends a bolt message to a non-JVM bolt process.
void	writeSpoutMsg(SpoutMsg msg) This method sends a spout message to a non-JVM spout process.
void	writeTaskIds(List<Integer> taskIds) This method sends a list of task IDs to a non-JVM bolt process.

Method Detail

initialize

void initialize(OutputStream processIn,
                InputStream processOut)

This method sets the input and output streams of the serializer.

Parameters:

processIn - output stream to non-JVM component

processOut - input stream from non-JVM component

connect

Number connect(Map<String,Object> conf,
               TopologyContext context)
        throws IOException,
               NoOutputException

This method transmits the Storm config to the non-JVM process and receives its pid.

Parameters:

conf - storm configuration

context - topology context

Returns:

process pid

Throws:

IOException

NoOutputException

readShellMsg

ShellMsg readShellMsg()
               throws IOException,
                      NoOutputException

Returns:

shell message

Throws:

IOException

NoOutputException

writeBoltMsg

void writeBoltMsg(BoltMsg msg)
           throws IOException

This method sends a bolt message to a non-JVM bolt process.

Parameters:

msg - bolt message

Throws:

IOException

writeSpoutMsg

void writeSpoutMsg(SpoutMsg msg)
            throws IOException

This method sends a spout message to a non-JVM spout process.

Parameters:

msg - spout message

IOException

writeTaskIds

void writeTaskIds(List<Integer> taskIds)
           throws IOException

This method sends a list of task IDs to a non-JVM bolt process.

Parameters:

taskIds - list of task IDs

Throws:

IOException
