Abstract
Systems and methods to specify and execute real-time streaming applications are provided. The method includes specifying an application topology for an application including spouts, bolts, connections, a global hash table, and a topology manager. Each spout receives input data and each bolt transforms the input data, the global hash table allows in memory communication between each spout and bolt to others of the spouts and the bolts. The topology manager manages the application topology. The method includes compiling the application into a shared or static library for applications, and exporting a special symbol associated with the application. The runtime system can be used to retrieve the application topology from the shared or static library based on the special symbol and execute the application topology on a single node or distribute across multiple nodes.
