Technology stack
For the preceding solution, we would need to use various technologies. The details are as follows.
Kafka
Kafka is a publish-subscribe messaging service. It is distributed, reliable, durable, fast, and scalable by design. It gives us the ability to create topics and publish messages to them. We can then define the subscribers to these topics in order to start consuming these messages. More on Kafka at http://kafka.apache.org/.
Flume
Flume is a reliable, distributed system, designed to effectively collect and aggregate data from various systems. In our solution, we are going to use Flume to get data from Kafka and write it to HDFS and Open TSDB simultaneously. More on Flume at http://flume.apache.org/. We will be learning more about Flume in the next chapter.
HDFS
Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is a reliable, distributed file storage system for effective data analytics. We have already explored this in earlier chapters.
Hive
Hive is an SQL dialect of Hadoop. The data stored...
