http

HTTP(S) Listener Source

A Hazelcast Jet source for listening HTTP(S) requests, and a sink which clients can connect and listen the items using either websocket or server-sent events.

The source creates an Undertow server for each processor and starts listening the incoming requests. User can configure the host and port for the server. User can also define a ssl context to secure the connections. The payload can be converted to the desired output before emitting to the downstream.

The sink is not distributed. Sink creates a single Undertow server on one of the servers randomly chosen, and starts listening for the clients to connect. Clients can connect using either websocket or server-sent events. The sink can accumulate items if there is no connected client.

Getting Started

Installing

The http module artifacts published to the Maven Central repositories.

Add the following lines to your pom.xml to include it as a dependency to your project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.hazelcast.jet.contrib</groupId>
    <artifactId>http</artifactId>
    <version>${version}</version>
</dependency>

or if you are using Gradle:

compile group: 'com.hazelcast.jet.contrib', name: 'http', version: ${version}

Usage

HTTP Source

HTTP Listener Source creates HTTP listener on each Hazelcast Jet member on user configured host and port.

Below is an example pipeline which the source maps payload JSON messages to POJOs of provided class, filters them based on its age property and logs them to standard output.

Pipeline p = Pipeline.create();
p.readFrom(HttpListenerSources.httpListener(8080, Employee.class))
 .withoutTimestamps()
 .filter(employee -> employee.getAge() < 25)
 .writeTo(Sinks.logger());

Http Listener Sink for Websocket

Http Listener Sink for Websocket creates a listener for websocket connections on one of the Hazelcast Jet members. The sink converts each item to string using the provided toStringFn and sends to connected websocket clients.

Below is an example pipeline which generates 5 items per second and publishes those items with the websocket server. After the job has been submitted, you can use HttpListenerSinks.sinkAddress(JetInstance, Job) static method to retrieve the server address. You can use that address with any websocket client to start streaming the results.

JetInstance jet = Jet.newJetInstance();

Pipeline p = Pipeline.create();
p.readFrom(TestSources.itemStream(5))
        .withoutTimestamps()
        .writeTo(HttpListenerSinks.websocket("/items", 8080));

Job job = jet.newJob(p);
String sinkAddress = HttpListenerSinks.sinkAddress(jet, job);
//sinkAddress: "ws://the-host:8080/items

Check out the HttpListenerSinkTest for an example implementation with Undertow WebSocket Client.

Http Listener Sink for Server-Sent-Events

Http Listener Sink for Server-Sent Events creates a listener for http connections on one of the Hazelcast Jet members. The sink converts each item to string using the provided toStringFn and sends to connected http clients.

Below is an example pipeline which generates 5 items per second and publishes those items with the http server using SSE. After the job has been submitted, you can use HttpListenerSinks.sinkAddress(JetInstance, Job) static method to retrieve the server address. You can use that address with any http client which has SSE support to start streaming the results.

JetInstance jet = Jet.newJetInstance();

Pipeline p = Pipeline.create();
p.readFrom(TestSources.itemStream(5))
        .withoutTimestamps()
        .writeTo(HttpListenerSinks.sse("/items", 8080));

Job job = jet.newJob(p);
String sinkAddress = HttpListenerSinks.sinkAddress(jet, job);
//sinkAddress: "http://the-host:8080/items

While the pipeline above runs, if you make a GET request to the HTTP endpoint you should see a similar output like below:

$ curl -X GET http://192.168.1.25:8080/items  
data:SimpleEvent(timestamp=21:20:21.000, sequence=41)

data:SimpleEvent(timestamp=21:20:21.200, sequence=42)

data:SimpleEvent(timestamp=21:20:21.400, sequence=43)

data:SimpleEvent(timestamp=21:20:21.600, sequence=44)

data:SimpleEvent(timestamp=21:20:21.800, sequence=45)

data:SimpleEvent(timestamp=21:20:22.000, sequence=46)

data:SimpleEvent(timestamp=21:20:22.200, sequence=47)

data:SimpleEvent(timestamp=21:20:22.400, sequence=48)

Running the tests

To run the tests run the command below:

./gradlew test
