Description
spark streaming source to ingest realtime streaming data into hydrator pipelines.
User Story
User have a continuos data being generated by click streams which is being dumped into amazon kinesis streams from various nodes. User has live dashboards running powered by hydrator pipelines and want to feed the data being generated into the dashboards. User can leverage kinesis spark streaming source to connect the incoming stream to hydrator pipeline.
This will also help users to leverage Aws sources that are not currently supported by hydrator or dont have existing plugins for them. Kinesis has out of the box support for all the AWS products and can act as a connector between aws services and hydrator pipelines.
