Class TopologyBuilder

java.lang.Object
org.apache.storm.topology.TopologyBuilder

public class TopologyBuilder extends Object
TopologyBuilder exposes the Java API for specifying a topology for Storm to execute. Topologies are Thrift structures in the end, but since the Thrift API is so verbose, TopologyBuilder greatly eases the process of creating topologies. The template for creating and submitting a topology looks something like:

```java TopologyBuilder builder = new TopologyBuilder();

builder.setSpout("1", new TestWordSpout(true), 5); builder.setSpout("2", new TestWordSpout(true), 3); builder.setBolt("3", new TestWordCounter(), 3) .fieldsGrouping("1", new Fields("word")) .fieldsGrouping("2", new Fields("word")); builder.setBolt("4", new TestGlobalCount()) .globalGrouping("1");

Map<String, Object> conf = new HashMap(); conf.put(Config.TOPOLOGY_WORKERS, 4);

StormSubmitter.submitTopology("mytopology", conf, builder.createTopology()); ```

Running the exact same topology in local mode (in process), and configuring it to log all tuples emitted, looks like the following. Note that it lets the topology run for 10 seconds before shutting down the local cluster.

```java TopologyBuilder builder = new TopologyBuilder();

builder.setSpout("1", new TestWordSpout(true), 5); builder.setSpout("2", new TestWordSpout(true), 3); builder.setBolt("3", new TestWordCounter(), 3) .fieldsGrouping("1", new Fields("word")) .fieldsGrouping("2", new Fields("word")); builder.setBolt("4", new TestGlobalCount()) .globalGrouping("1");

Map<String, Object> conf = new HashMap(); conf.put(Config.TOPOLOGY_WORKERS, 4); conf.put(Config.TOPOLOGY_DEBUG, true);

try (LocalCluster cluster = new LocalCluster(); LocalTopology topo = cluster.submitTopology("mytopology", conf, builder.createTopology());){ Utils.sleep(10000); } ```

The pattern for `TopologyBuilder` is to map component ids to components using the setSpout and setBolt methods. Those methods return objects that are then used to declare the inputs for that component.

    • setBolt

      public <T extends State> BoltDeclarer setBolt(String id, IStatefulBolt<T> bolt) throws IllegalArgumentException
      Define a new bolt in this topology. This defines a stateful bolt, that requires its state (of computation) to be saved. When this bolt is initialized, the IStatefulComponent.initState(State) method is invoked after IStatefulBolt.prepare(Map, TopologyContext, OutputCollector) but before IStatefulBolt.execute(Tuple) with its previously saved state.

      The framework provides at-least once guarantee for the state updates. Bolts (both stateful and non-stateful) in a stateful topology are expected to anchor the tuples while emitting and ack the input tuples once its processed.

      Parameters:
      id - the id of this component. This id is referenced by other components that want to consume this bolt's outputs.
      bolt - the stateful bolt
      Returns:
