Topologies

The following image depicts a Storm topology with a simple workflow.



The TopologyBuilder class is the starting point for quickly writing Storm topologies with the storm-core API. The class contains getter and setter methods for the spouts and bolts that comprise the streaming data workflow, as shown in the following sample code.

TopologyBuilder builder = new TopologyBuilder();
builder.setSpout("spout1", new BaseRichSpout());
builder.setSpout("spout2", new BaseRichSpout());
builder.setBolt("bolt1", new BaseBasicBolt());
builder.setBolt("bolt2", new BaseBasicBolt());
builder.setBolt("bolt3", new BaseBasicBolt());
