Real-Time Data Analysis – Azure Stream Analytics
While some Azure components enable us to deliver data to the cloud, in most cases we also need something that is designed for analyzing and querying streamed data. One such service is Azure Stream Analytics, a real-time data analysis tool that can read all messages sent through – for example—Event Hubs, and transform and save them using one of the predefined outputs. This chapter is structured in a way that will help you start with the analysis of streamed data and should help in getting things done properly.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Introducing Azure Stream Analytics
- Defining available input and output types
- Querying data using theAzure Stream Analytics query language
- Event ordering, checkpoints, and replays
- Common query patterns
