There are two main reasons why Apache Storm is so popular. The number one is it can connect to many sources. The number two is scalable. The other advantage is fault-tolerant. That means, guaranteed data processing. The map-reduce jobs process data analytics in Hadoop. The topology in Storm is the real data processor. The co-ordination between Nimbus and Supervisor carried by Zookeeper Apache Storm The jobs in Hadoop are similar to the topology. The jobs run as per the schedule defined. In Storm, the topology runs forever. A topology consists of many worker processes spread across many machines.  A topology is a pre-defined design to get end product using your data. A topology comprises of 2 parts. These are Spout and bolts. The Spout is a funnel for topology Two nodes in Storm Master Node: similar to the Hadoop job tracker. It runs on a daemon called Nimbus. Worker Node: It runs on a daemon called Supervisor. The Supervisor listens to the work assigne...
