A simple Clojure wrapper for Esper: Complex Event Processing.
Esper and NEsper enable rapid development of applications that process large volumes of incoming messages or events. Esper and NEsper filter and analyze events in various ways, and respond to conditions of interest in real-time.
It provides a SQL-like language across a stream of data:
SELECT COUNT(1) as success_count
FROM web_log.win:time(60 seconds)
WHERE status >= 200 AND status < 400
OUTPUT SNAPSHOT EVERY 1 SECONDS
clj-esper is available on Clojars. This can be added to your leiningen project.clj:
Esper is organised around events. clj-esper provides a defevent macro that makes it easier to build map event objects for esper (clj-esper uses Esper's Map Event Type).
(defevent TestEvent [a :int b :string])
Having defined an event, the with-esper macro can be used to build the Esper runtime and dispatch events into it.
(def output-events (atom []))
(defn- handler
[atom]
(fn [x]
(swap! atom conj x)))
(def statement "SELECT a, b FROM TestEvent")
(with-esper service {:events #{TestEvent}
:uri "/something"}
(attach-statement statement (handler output-events))
(trigger-event (new-event TestEvent :a 1 :b "Hello"))
For more examples please see the tests.
- Allow nesting of events (see 2.6.4.1 in Esper Reference)
- Expose output event stream as a sequence (rather than through handler functions).
