Event Stream Processor Adapter ToolkitLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use the Event Stream Processor adapter toolkit to quickly build custom external adapters using Java. Adapters built using the toolkit consist of various component modules configured together to deliver data to and publish data from Event Stream Processor. Module types include transporters (for interacting with external transports), formatters (for converting data from one format to another), and ESP connectors (for subscribing or publishing to ESP).

The toolkit includes numerous transporters, formatters, and ESP connectors that can be configured in various combinations by an administrator. You can also combine these out-of-the-box modules with custom modules created by a Java developer.

The adapter toolkit allows you to implement:
  • An input adapter to act as a datasource for the ESP Server.
  • An output adapter to act as a data destination and deliver data from streams in ESP.
  • A dual-direction adapter to act as both a datasource and data destination for Event Stream Processor.
  • Guaranteed delivery (GD) to minimize loss of data during transfer of input data.
  • Schema discovery to automatically discover schema for your custom input and output adapter.
