- APIs
  Application programming interfaces (APIs) provide functions that simplify applications development.
- Job configuration overlays
  You can specify or change configuration parameters when you use the submitjob or updateoperators operations. The settings control submission constraints, host constraints and locations, and operator status. Parameters are captured and updated in the configuration JSON file. When you change the values in the job configuration overlay file, the changes override any previously set values.
- Commands
  Teracloud® Streams provides a number of commands you use to perform tasks.
- Operator model
  An operator model is an XML document that describes the basic properties of a primitive operator.
- Streams Processing Language (SPL)
  Streams Processing Language (SPL) is a distributed data flow composition language that is used in Teracloud® Streams. SPL has primitive types, program structures, and definitions that are tailored for streaming data.
- Toolkits
  A toolkit is a set of SPL artifacts, which are organized into a package. Toolkits make SPL or native functions and primitive or composite operators reusable across different applications.
  - Specialized toolkit requirements and restrictions
    Several of the specialized toolkits require RPMs that are not required by the Teracloud® Streams product. There are also toolkit restrictions on some platforms.
  - Toolkits
- SPLDOC markup
  You can use SPLDOC markup in the descriptions associated with the SPL artifacts in a toolkit. The spl-make-doc command generates HTML documentation from the marked up artifacts.

Operator HTTPGetJSONContent

This operator is deprecated. Use HTTPRequest operator instead.

Periodically connects to an HTTP endpoint to GET JSON content as a single tuple. The JSON content is assigned to the jsonString attribute in the output tuple which must be of type rstring.

Summary

Ports

This operator has 0 input ports and 1 output port.

Windowing

This operator does not accept any windowing configurations.

Parameters

This operator supports 7 parameters.

Required: url

Optional: acceptAllCertificates, contentAttribute, extraHeaders, initDelay, iterations, period

Metrics

This operator reports 1 metric.

Properties

Implementation: Java

Output Ports

Assignments: Java operators do not support output assignments.

Ports (0)

Content of the HTTP GET request as an JSON attribute. Each successful HTTP request that returns a content results in a submitted tuple with an rstring attribute containing the returned content.

Properties

Optional: false

WindowPunctuationOutputMode: Free

This operator supports 7 parameters.

Required: url

Optional: acceptAllCertificates, contentAttribute, extraHeaders, initDelay, iterations, period

acceptAllCertificates

Accept all SSL certificates, even those that are self-signed. Setting this option will allow potentially insecure connections. Default is false.

Properties

Type: boolean
Cardinality: 1
Optional: true

contentAttribute

Output attribute to assign content to.

Properties

Type: rstring
Cardinality: 1
Optional: true
ExpressionMode: Attribute

extraHeaders

Extra headers to send with request, format is "Header-Name: value"

Properties

Type: rstring
Optional: true

initDelay

Delay in seconds before the operator starts producing tuples.

Properties

Type: int64
Cardinality: 1
Optional: true

iterations

The number of tuples to submit. Negative value or zero means continually fetch and submit tuples.

Properties

Type: int32
Cardinality: 1
Optional: true

period

Polling period in seconds. Tuples will be fetched every period seconds.

Properties

Type: float64
Cardinality: 1
Optional: true

url

URL to HTTP GET content from.

Properties

Type: rstring
Cardinality: 1
Optional: false

nFailedRequests - Counter

Number of HTTP requests that failed, did not return response 200.
