Storm with video/audio streams

[Suparno Datta <su...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

    I just started playing around with storm a few days back. I worked with
some basic examples using the twitter streaming api. I was wondering If
storm can also be used with live video/audio streaming api ( the youtube
streaming api for example). I wanted to develop a app which does something
like detecting and tracking faces from a live video stream using Storm. But
i am not sure if this is even feasible. Most of the examples i see deal
with text streams. Has any one here already tried/ thought of something
like this ?

Thanks,

No reason why you couldn't do it, but as far as I know it hasn't been done
before. You can send any kind of serializable data into a topology. You'd
probably need to emit frames from the spout.
