Apache storm based on topology for real-time processing of streaming data from social networks

In recent years Big Data has become one of the hottest topic in software engineering. Necessity to deal with huge amount of data brings new challenges and, of course, new opportunities. Big Data requires revising approaches to designing software architecture. In particular, the Lambda Architecture pattern distinguishes the components that process recent data only in real-time (“speed layer”). In practice, such data items come continuously from so-called data streams. The aim of this paper is to represent concept of the implemented by the authors Apache Storm based topology for real-time processing of data streams from social networks.
