Welcome
Learn about the core capabilities of Teracloud® Streams, its architecture, and key concepts.
Installing
Use this information to install, upgrade, and uninstall the Teracloud® Streams product.
Configuring
Create a basic or an enterprise domain which is a single point for configuring and managing common resources, security, and instances.
Administering
Administer the product by using the Teracloud® Streams graphical user interface, APIs, or the streamtool command-line interface.
Developing
Develop stream applications with the Streams Processing Language (SPL), Java, and Python.
- Development concepts
  Development of stream applications consists of several components such as operators, streams, tuples, Streams Processing Language, toolkits, and more.
- Writing stream applications
  Teracloud® Streams provides features and functions to help you write your applications to fulfill your business needs.
- Enabling Streams data exchange
  Teracloud® Streams provides a data exchange REST API for inserting and retrieving Streams job data. You can add one or more endpoint operators to your Streams application to enable Streams data exchange. Providing a standard REST interface for Streams data exchange eases the integration of Streams data with other data services and externally hosted applications.
- Compiling stream applications
  The Streams Processing Language (SPL) Compiler is called sc and is included with the Teracloud® Streams installation package. You compile SPL to create files to run on your Teracloud Streams instance.
- Performance improvements for stream applications
  You can improve the processing of your stream application by following these guidelines and tips.
  - Performance recommendations for SPL application programmers
    You can use these performance options and recommendations to improve your stream application.
  - Performance recommendations for primitive operator implementors
    These tips help you to improve performance of your primitive operators in C++.
    - Data allocation
      Here are some tips for allocating data with performance in mind.
    - Copying data from C-style interface
      If you write a primitive operator in C++, use this code as an example of how to copy data to C-style interfaces.
    - Passing data to C-style interface
      If you write a primitive operator in C++, use this code as an example of how to pass data to C-style interfaces.
    - Copying tuples
      Here are some performance considerations when you copy tuples that are of the same or different types.
    - Multi-threading considerations
      The following topic describes situations when operators can run in multi-threaded context and the related performance considerations.
- Debugging stream applications
  The Streams Processing Language (SPL) Streams Debugger (sdb) provides a command line-based interactive debugger for debugging stream applications.
- Developing toolkits and operators
  You can create custom toolkits and operators for your applications.
