This is a Stream Type used for Streams received by Stroom. Streams received by Stroom will be in a variety of text formats (CSV, delimited, fixed width, XML, JSON, etc.). Until they have been processed by a pipeline they are essentially just unstructured character data with no concept of what is a record/event. A Parser in a pipeline is required to provide the demarcation between records/events.

The act of repeating the processing of a set of input data (Stream) that have already been processed at least once. Re-Processing can be done for an individual Stream or multiple Streams using a Processor Filter.

This is a Stream Type for Streams containing data conforming to the records:2 XML Schema. It also refers more generally to any XML conforming to the records:2 XML Schema which is used in a number of places in Stroom, including as the output format for the DSParser and input for the IndexingFilter.

REST (Representational State Transfer) is essentially an architectural style that dictates how data should be handled and “transferred” across a network. REST APIs typically use JSON to send data between the client and the server, and the HTTP methods GET, PUT, PATCH, POST and DELETE.
