Stream Type

All Streams must have a Stream Type. The list of Stream Types is configured using the Property stroom.data.meta.metaTypes.

Additional Stream Types can be added however the list of Stream Types must include the following built-in types:

  • Context
  • Error
  • Events Events This is a Stream Type in Stroom. An Events stream consists of processed/cooked data that has been demarcated into individual Events.Click to see more details...
  • Meta
  • Raw Events Raw Events 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.Click to see more details...
  • Raw Reference
  • Reference

Some Stream Types, such as Meta and Context only exist as child streams within another Stream.
