Streaming and real-time analysis

Storm and Spark are the two new fascinating components that can run on YARN and have some amazing capabilities in terms of processing streaming and real-time analysis. Both of these are used in scenarios where we have heavy continuous streaming data and have to be processed in, or near, real-time cases. The example which we discussed earlier for traffic analyzer is a good example for use cases of Storm and Spark.

We will cover the concept of Storm and Spark in greater detail in Chapter 7, Streaming and Real-time Analysis—Storm and Spark.
