Method Detail

subscribe

public static SPLStream subscribe(TopologyElement te,
                                  java.lang.String topic,
                                  com.ibm.streams.operator.StreamSchema schema)

Subscribe to an SPLStream published by topic.

Parameters:

te - Topology the stream will be contained in.

topic - Topic to subscribe to.

schema - SPL Schema of the published stream.

Returns:

Stream containing tuples for the published topic.

convertStream

public static <T> SPLStream convertStream(TStream<T> stream,
                                          BiFunction<T,com.ibm.streams.operator.OutputTuple,com.ibm.streams.operator.OutputTuple> converter,
                                          com.ibm.streams.operator.StreamSchema schema)

Convert a Stream to an SPLStream. For each tuple t on stream, the returned stream will contain a tuple that is the result of converter.apply(t, outTuple) when the return is not null. outTuple is a newly created, empty, OutputTuple, the converter.apply() method populates outTuple from t.

Example of converting a stream containing a Sensor object to an SPL schema of tuple<rstring id, float64 reading>.

 
 Stream<Sensor> sensors = ...
 StreamSchema schema = Type.Factory.getStreamSchema("tuple<rstring id, float64 reading>");
 SPLStream splSensors = SPLStreams.convertStream(sensors,
   new BiFunction<Sensor, OutputTuple, OutputTuple>() {
             @Override
             public OutputTuple apply(Sensor sensor, OutputTuple outTuple) {
                 outTuple.setString("id", sensor.getId());
                 outTuple.setDouble("reading", sensor.getReading());
                 return outTuple;
             }}, schema);
 
 

Parameters:

stream - Stream to be converted.

converter - Converter used to populate the SPL tuple.

schema - Schema of returned SPLStream.

Returns:

SPLStream containing the converted tuples.

toStringStream

public static TStream<java.lang.String> toStringStream(SPLStream stream)

Convert an SPLStream to a TStream<String> by taking its first attribute. The returned stream will contain a String tuple for each tuple T on stream, the value of the String tuple is T.getString(0). A runtime error will occur if the first attribute (index 0) can not be converted using Tuple.getString(0).

Parameters:

stream - Stream to be converted to a TStream<String>.

Returns:

Stream that will contain the first attribute of tuples from stream

toStringStream

public static TStream<java.lang.String> toStringStream(SPLStream stream,
                                                       java.lang.String attributeName)

Convert an SPLStream to a TStream<String> by taking a specific attribute. The returned stream will contain a String tuple for each tuple T on stream, the value of the String tuple is T.getString(attributeName). A runtime error will occur if the attribute can not be converted using Tuple.getString(attributeName).

Parameters:

stream - Stream to be converted to a TStream<String>.

Returns:

Stream that will contain a single attribute of tuples from stream

stringToSPLStream

public static SPLStream stringToSPLStream(TStream<java.lang.String> stream)

Represent stream as an SPLStream with schema SPLSchemas.STRING.

Parameters:

stream - Stream to be represented as an SPLStream.

Returns:

SPLStream representation of stream.

triggerCount

public static SPLWindow triggerCount(TWindow<com.ibm.streams.operator.Tuple,?> window,
                                     int count)

Convert window to an SPL window with a count based trigger policy.

Parameters:

window - Window to be converted.

count - Count trigger policy value

Returns:

SPL window with that will trigger every count tuples.

triggerTime

public static SPLWindow triggerTime(TWindow<com.ibm.streams.operator.Tuple,?> window,
                                    long time,
                                    java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)

Convert window to an SPL window with a time based trigger policy.

Parameters:

window - Window to be converted.

time - TIme trigger policy value.

unit - Unit for time.

Returns:

SPL window with that will trigger periodically according to time.
