RocketMQ Streams Core Concept

Domain model​

StreamBuilder​

img_2.png

  • An instance of StreamBuilder has 1 to N pipelines, where a pipeline represents a data processing path.
  • A pipeline can contain 1 to N processing nodes, called GroupNodes.
  • An instance of StreamBuilder also has a TopologyBuilder, which can construct data processors.
  • Each JobId corresponds to one instance of StreamBuilder.

RocketMQStream​

  • An instance of RocketMQStream has a TopologyBuilder for building topologies
  • An instance of RocketMQStream can instantiate 1 to N worker threads
  • Each thread, represented by a WorkerThread instance, contains an engine
  • An engine contains all the logic for executing data processing and includes a consumer instance, a producer instance, and a StateStore instance.

Stream Processing Instance​

A Stream Processing Instance represents a process running RocketMQ Streams;

  • An instance of Stream Processing contains one StreamBuilder, one RocketMQStream, one topology, and one or multiple pipelines.

StreamBuilder​

  • StreamBuilder(jobId) build instance；
  • <OUT> RStream<OUT> source(topicName, deserializer) define source topic and deserialization method；

RStream​

  • <K> GroupedStream<K, T> keyBy(selectAction) group the data by specific field；
  • <O> RStream<O> map(mapperAction) transform data one-to-one；
  • RStream<T> filter(predictor) filter the data
  • <VR> RStream<T> flatMap(mapper)transform data one-to-many；
  • <T2> JoinedStream<T, T2> join(rightStream) Perform a two-stream join；
  • sink(topicName, serializer) output the results to a specific topic；

GroupedStream​

Operations on data that has the same key

  • <OUT> GroupedStream<K, Integer> count(selectAction) counts the number of data entries that contain a certain field.
  • GroupedStream<K, V> min(selectAction) calculates the minimum value of a certain field.
  • GroupedStream<K, V> max(selectAction) calculates the maximum value of a certain field.
  • GroupedStream<K, ? extends Number> sum(selectAction) calculates the sum of a certain field.
  • GroupedStream<K, V> filter(predictor) filters a certain field.
  • <OUT> GroupedStream<K, OUT> map(valueMapperAction) performs one-to-one data transformation.
  • <OUT> GroupedStream<K, OUT> aggregate(accumulator) performs aggregate operations on the data, and supports second-order aggregation, such as adding data before a window triggers and calculating results when the window triggers.
  • WindowStream<K, V> window(windowInfo) defines a window for the stream.
  • GroupedStream<K, V> addGraphNode(name, supplier) adds a custom operator to the stream processing topology at a low-level interface.
  • RStream<V> toRStream() converts to RStream, only converting in terms of interface and not affecting the data.
  • sink(topicName, serializer) writes the results to a topic in a custom serialization format.

WindowStream​

Operations on data that has been divided into windows

  • WindowStream<K, Integer> count() counts the number of data entries in the window.
  • WindowStream<K, V> filter(predictor) filters the data in the window.
  • <OUT> WindowStream<K, OUT> map(mapperAction) performs one-to-one data transformation on the data in the window.
  • <OUT> WindowStream<K, OUT> aggregate(aggregateAction) performs many-to-one data transformation on the data in the window.
  • <OUT> WindowStream<K, OUT> aggregate(accumulator) performs aggregate operations on the data in the window, and supports second-order aggregation, such as adding data before a window triggers and calculating results when the window triggers.
  • void sink(topicName, serializer) writes the results to a topic in a custom serialization format.
