Malhar repository contains open source operator and codec library that can be used with the DataTorrent platform to build Realtime streaming applications. In addition to the library there are contrib, demos, webdemos and samples folders available. Demos contain demo applications built using the library operators. Webdemos contain webpages for the demos. Contrib contains additional operators that interface with third party softwares. Samples contain some sample code that shows how to use the library operators.
The documentation for Operators, Widgets, Demos, and Apps is available at Malhar Javadocs. Documentation for the platform itself can be found at Resources.
Please use the Malhar discussion group for support. Subscription to the group is open and postings are welcome. You can post anything about the operators, discuss new operator ideas or report issues and get answers from experts. You can signup by going to the following url https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/malhar-users
The Malhar repository is on github.com. You can download or clone it using the GitHub links. If you already have a GitHub account you can fork the DataTorrent/Malhar repository and contribute with pull requests. See Contributing section below.
The project uses maven to build the code. To build the code run mvn install at the top level. The code also has a dependency to the DataTorrent API. The API releases are available in the DataTorrent maven repository and the Malhar pom.xml is configured with it. Individual modules such as library can be built independently by changing directory to the module and running maven there.
To run the code DataTorrent platform is needed. The developer version or an evaluation version, both of which are free, can be downloaded from
https://www.datatorrent.com/download.php
Please follow the instructions in the software README on how to run the application.
For an easer setup, sandbox virtual machine provides pre-configured DataTorrent platform with all necessary dependencies, and can be found in the download section.
Multiple demos are provided with the DataTorrent platform to showcase the platform and provide application development examples. Demos can be executed after downloading and installing DataTorrent platform or the sandbox with pre-configured DataTorrent platform environment. See demos source code for application development examples.
Web interface for the following demos is available:
- Mobile
- Machine Generated Data
- Ads Dimensions
- Fraud
Web apps run on Node.js. Please see webapps for more information.
