Arcon

Arcon is a library for building state-first streaming applications in Rust.

Project Status

Arcon is in development and should be considered experimental until further notice.

The APIs may break and you should not be running Arcon with important data!

Rust Version

Arcon builds against the latest stable release and the current MSRV is 1.56.1

Roadmap

See the roadmap here

Highlights

• Out-of-order Processing
• Event-time & Watermarks
• Epoch Snapshotting for Exactly-once Processing
• Hybrid Row(Protobuf) / Columnar (Arrow) System
• Modular State Backend Abstraction

Example

use arcon::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let mut app = Application::default()
        .iterator(0u64..100, |conf| {
            conf.set_arcon_time(ArconTime::Event);
            conf.set_timestamp_extractor(|x: &u64| *x);
        })
        .filter(|x| *x > 50)
        .to_console()
        .build();

    app.start();
    app.await_termination();
}
