Storm's comparison towards Pipes-and-Filters-Pattern
Hey everybody,
I am working on a universities project towards a comparison towards pipes-and-filters-pattern and Storm.
Since I am new to Storm and its topology and operating mode I hope you can help me evaluating my train of thoughts.
Bolts can be considered as Filters, whereas the Spout equals the „Data Source“ (internal view) pushing tuples (data) to the downstream bolt.
Finally the last bolt within the topology pushes tuples into a Data Sink, e.g. Redis.
For the external view the Spout is also pulling (not shown in picture) from external sources such as Kafka.
Overall, Spouts implement pull and push mechanism and Bolts only push mechanism
I know this might seem trivial to you guys but i really hope for some constructive help.

Btw if you are looking for a different comparison point there are other
frameworks such as akka (http://akka.io), apache spark (
https://spark.apache.org), or ibm streams that might be more interesting.

Also it supports cycles in the graph. It's like comparing a bicycle to an
airplane.

Storm is much more sophisticated then just filter-pipe pattern.
It provides
1. Reliability: guarantees that every spout tuple will be fully processed.
Actually it provides : at-most-once delivery(no ackers) , at-least-once
delivery(ackers) and exactly-once (Trident) semantic for the message
delivering/processing
2. Various types of tuples grouping
3. Scaling-out distributed system

So basically Storm’s core concept can be compared to pipes-and-filters-pattern BUT provides a more „user-friendly“ framework than e.g. a unix based pipes-and-filters processing.
btw: I haven’t come across with TRIDENT yet. Just starting to dive deeper into Storm as a potential technology for a real-time analytics architecture (e.g. KAFKA+STORM+NODE+D3).

Storm supports fan outs, joins, various data groupings, and easier
scalability than the canonical Unix based pipes and filters processing.

Firstly your thoughts are correct :), but do you know Trindet’s api?
Trindet provides functions and filters equivalent to bolts

Hey everybody,
I am working on a universities project towards a comparison towards pipes-and-filters-pattern and Storm.
Since I am new to Storm and its topology and operating mode I hope you can help me evaluating my train of thoughts.
Bolts can be considered as Filters, whereas the Spout equals the „Data Source“ (internal view) pushing tuples (data) to the downstream bolt.
Finally the last bolt within the topology pushes tuples into a Data Sink, e.g. Redis.
For the external view the Spout is also pulling (not shown in picture) from external sources such as Kafka.
Overall, Spouts implement pull and push mechanism and Bolts only push mechanism
I know this might seem trivial to you guys but i really hope for some constructive help.
