Executing the topology from Command Prompt

Once the UI is visible and all the daemons are started, the topology can be submitted on Nimbus using the following command:

storm jar storm-starter-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar storm.starter.WordCountTopology WordCount -c nimbus.host=localhost

The Storm UI with the WordCount topology running in distributed mode is shown here. It depicts the topology state, uptime, and other details (we shall discuss the features of the UI in detail in a later chapter). We can kill the topology from the UI.

Tweaking the WordCount topology to customize it

Now that we have deployed the WordCount topology in distributed mode, let's tweak the code in the bolts a bit to write WordCount onto a file. To achieve this, we will proceed with the following steps:

  1. We intend to create a new bolt, FileWriterBolt, to achieve this. Open WordCountTopology.java and add the following snippet to WordCountTopology.java:
    public static class FileWriterBolt extends BaseBasicBolt {
        Map<String, Integer> counts = new HashMap<String,  Integer>();
        @Override
        public void execute(Tuple tuple, BasicOutputCollector  collector) {
            String word = tuple.getString(0);
            Integer count = counts.get(word);
            if(count==null) {count = 0;
            count = 0;
        }
            count++;
            counts.put(word, count);
            OutputStream ostream;
            try {
                ostream = new  FileOutputStream("~/wordCount.txt", true);
                ostream.write(word.getBytes());
                ostream.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            collector.emit(new Values(word, count));
        }
    
        @Override
        public void declareOutputFields(OutputFieldsDeclarer  declarer) {
            declarer.declare(new Fields("word", "count"));
        }
  2. Next we have to make changes to the main() method to use this new bolt instead of WordCount Bolt(); here is the snippet:
    // instantiates the new builder object 
    TopologyBuilder builder = new TopologyBuilder();
    // Adds a new spout of type "RandomSentenceSpout" with a  parallelism hint of 5 
    builder.setSpout("spout", new RandomSentenceSpout(), 5);
    //Adds a new bolt to the  topology of type "SplitSentence"  with parallelism of 8
    builder.setBolt("split", new SplitSentence(),  8).shuffleGrouping("spout");
    //Adds a new bolt to the  topology of type "SplitSentence"  with parallelism of 8
    //builder.setBolt("count", new FileWriterBolt()(),  12).fieldsGrouping("split", new Fields("word"));
  3. Next, you can execute the topology using Eclipse, run it as Java, and the output will be saved into a file called wordCount.txt in your home directory.
  4. To run in distributed mode, use the following steps:
    1. Compile the topology changes to generate a new Storm-starter project using the following command line:
      mvn clean install
      
    2. Copy storm-starter-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar from the target folder under the starter project to Nimbus, let's say, at /home/admin/topology/.
    3. Submit the topology using the following command:
      storm jar /home/admin/topology/storm-starter-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT- jar-with-dependencies.jar storm.starter.WordCountTopology WordCount -c nimbus.host=localhost
      
  5. The output will be the same as the WordCount topology executed in the figure in the preceding section.
