Does apache storm allow the processing of volumunous files stored on HDFS ?
knowing that my goal is to have a real time response (seconds or miliseconds),
or apache storm is only dedicated to streaming process !!
Thank you
Storm is only for streaming (as opposed to batch processing), but if I'm understanding you correctly, you want to read files from HDFS and process them?
The storm-hdfs module has a spout (topology data source). It might do what you want.
