Jet is an open-source, in-memory, distributed batch and stream processing engine. You can use it to process large volumes of real-time events or huge batches of static datasets. To give a sense of scale, a single node of Jet has been proven to aggregate 10 million events per second with latency under 10 milliseconds.
It provides a Java API to build stream and batch processing applications through the use of a dataflow programming model. After you deploy your application to a Jet cluster, Jet will automatically use all the computational resources on the cluster to run your application.
If you add more nodes to the cluster while your application is running, Jet automatically scales up your application to run on the new nodes. If you remove nodes from the cluster, it scales it down seamlessly without losing the current computational state, providing exactly-once processing guarantees.
For example, you can represent the classical word count problem that reads some local files and outputs the frequency of each word to console using the following API:
JetInstance jet = Jet.bootstrappedInstance();
Pipeline p = Pipeline.create();
p.readFrom(Sources.files("/path/to/text-files"))
.flatMap(line -> traverseArray(line.toLowerCase().split("\\W+")))
.filter(word -> !word.isEmpty())
.groupingKey(word -> word)
.aggregate(counting())
.writeTo(Sinks.logger());
jet.newJob(p).join();and then deploy the application to the cluster:
bin/jet submit word-count.jarAnother application which aggregates millions of sensor readings per second with 10-millisecond resolution from Kafka looks like the following:
Pipeline p = Pipeline.create();
p.readFrom(KafkaSources.<String, Reading>kafka(kafkaProperties, "sensors"))
.withTimestamps(event -> event.getValue().timestamp(), 10) // use event timestamp, allowed lag in ms
.groupingKey(reading -> reading.sensorId())
.window(sliding(1_000, 10)) // sliding window of 1s by 10ms
.aggregate(averagingDouble(reading -> reading.temperature()))
.writeTo(Sinks.logger());
jet.newJob(p).join();Jet comes with out-of-the-box support for many kinds of data sources and sinks, including:
- Apache Kafka
- Local Files (Text, Avro, JSON)
- Apache Hadoop (Azure Data Lake, S3, GCS)
- Apache Pulsar
- Debezium
- Elasticsearch
- JDBC
- JMS
- InfluxDB
- Hazelcast
- Redis
- MongoDB
Jet is a good fit when you need to process large amounts of data in a distributed fashion. You can use it to build a variety of data-processing applications, such as:
- Low-latency stateful stream processing. For example, detecting trends in 100 Hz sensor data from 100,000 devices and sending corrective feedback within 10 milliseconds.
- High-throughput, large-state stream processing. For example, tracking GPS locations of millions of users, inferring their velocity vectors.
- Batch processing of big data volumes, for example analyzing a day's worth of stock trading data to update the risk exposure of a given portfolio.
Jet uses a unique execution model with cooperative multithreading and can achieve extremely low latencies while processing millions of items per second on just a single node:
The engine is able to run anywhere from tens to thousands of jobs concurrently on a fixed number of threads.
Jet stores computational state in a distributed, replicated in-memory store and does not require the presence of a distributed file system nor infrastructure like Zookeeper to provide high-availability and fault-tolerance.
Jet implements a version of the Chandy-Lamport algorithm to provide exactly-once processing under the face of failures. When interfacing with external transactional systems like databases, it can provide end-to-end processing guarantees using two-phase commit.
Event data can often arrive out of order and Jet has first-class support for dealing with this disorder. Jet implements a technique called distributed watermarks to treat disordered events as if they were arriving in order.
Follow the Get Started guide to start using Jet.
You can download Jet from https://jet-start.sh.
Alternatively, you can use the latest docker image:
docker run -p 5701:5701 hazelcast/hazelcast-jetUse the following Maven coordinates to add Jet to your application:
<groupId>com.hazelcast.jet</groupId>
<artifactId>hazelcast-jet</artifactId>
<version>4.2</version>See the tutorials for tutorials on using Jet. Some examples:
Jet supports a variety of transforms and operators. These include:
- Stateless transforms such as mapping and filtering.
- Stateful transforms such as aggregations and stateful mapping.
