straw
A scalable real-time search platform for streaming data using Apache Storm, Kafka, and Lucene.
What is straw?
Straw is a real-time streaming search platform that allows users to register Lucene-style queries and receive instant alerts when those queries match incoming data from streams like Twitter. It solves the problem of monitoring high-velocity text data for specific patterns or keywords at scale. The platform uses a distributed architecture to handle both large volumes of data and many concurrent queries efficiently.
Data engineers and developers building real-time alerting systems, social media monitoring tools, or any application requiring low-latency search on continuous data streams.
Developers choose Straw for its scalable, open-source architecture that supports full Lucene query capabilities and offers both cloud deployment and local development options. Its benchmarking utilities and support for multiple search engines (Luwak and Elasticsearch) provide flexibility and performance insights.
