This comprehensive book offers a thorough exploration of stream processing, providing both a foundational understanding of the field and practical guidance for developing and researching with Apache Heron. It serves as a valuable resource for developers of streaming applications, offering a consolidated and systematic presentation of Heron's key concepts and features.

The book is organized into four parts, each designed to cater to different needs and expertise levels. Part I introduces the fundamentals of stream processing, Apache Storm, and Apache Heron (Incubating). It provides a foundational understanding of these technologies, their applications, and the Heron source repository. Part II delves into the details of writing Heron topologies, emphasizing two data models commonly used in stream processing. This part is particularly valuable for software developers who are new to Heron and want to grasp the syntax and capabilities of writing topologies using the Heron APIs.

Part III focuses on Heron tools, encompassing the command-line interface and the user interface, which are essential for managing a single topology or multiple topologies in a data center. It is tailored for operators who are responsible for deploying and overseeing running jobs. Part IV delves into the Heron source code, offering insights into its architecture and enabling software engineers to customize or extend Heron based on their specific requirements.

This book is designed for professionals seeking to leverage Apache Heron for processing streaming data. While a basic knowledge of Java and Bash commands for Linux is assumed, it assumes a deeper understanding of stream processing concepts and familiarity with distributed computing frameworks. By covering a wide range of topics and providing detailed explanations, this book equips readers with the skills and knowledge necessary to build robust and efficient streaming applications using Heron.
