Examples: Writing and reading Secondo streams to and from Kafka For all tests, first open some database, e.g.: open database berlintest; Write data to topic "test" on localhost: query plz feed writetokafka["localhost","test"] count; Write data to topic "test" on newton server: query plz feed writetokafka["newton1.fernuni-hagen.de:9093","test"] count Read data from topic "test" on localhost: query readfromkafka("localhost", "test", FALSE) count; Read data from topic "test" on newton server: query readfromkafka("newton1.fernuni-hagen.de:9093", "test", FALSE) count; Read existing data from topic "test" on localhost and waiting&reading for new data : query readfromkafka("localhost", "test", TRUE) finishStream[8080] consoleConsumer consume; From other instances new data can be added to topic, e.g. query plz feed filter [.Ort="Karlsruhe"] writetokafka["localhost","test"] consume; query plz feed filter [.PLZ=76189] writetokafka["localhost","test"] consume; The waiting can be finished by calling from other terminal: query signalFinish("localhost", 8080);
