Interface ISerializer

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

JsonSerializer

public interface ISerializer
extends Serializable

The ISerializer interface describes the methods that an object should implement to provide serialization and de-serialization capabilities to non-JVM language components.

Method Summary

Number	connect(Map conf, TopologyContext context) This method transmits the Storm config to the non-JVM process and receives its pid.
void	initialize(OutputStream processIn, InputStream processOut) This method sets the input and output streams of the serializer
ShellMsg	readShellMsg() This method receives a shell message from the non-JVM process
void	writeBoltMsg(BoltMsg msg) This method sends a bolt message to a non-JVM bolt process
void	writeSpoutMsg(SpoutMsg msg) This method sends a spout message to a non-JVM spout process
void	writeTaskIds(List<Integer> taskIds) This method sends a list of task IDs to a non-JVM bolt process

Method Detail

initialize

void initialize(OutputStream processIn,
                InputStream processOut)

This method sets the input and output streams of the serializer

Parameters:

processIn - output stream to non-JVM component

processOut - input stream from non-JVM component

connect

Number connect(Map conf,
               TopologyContext context)
               throws IOException,
                      NoOutputException

This method transmits the Storm config to the non-JVM process and receives its pid.

Parameters:

conf - storm configuration

context - topology context

Returns:

process pid

Throws:

IOException

NoOutputException

readShellMsg

ShellMsg readShellMsg()
                      throws IOException,
