Chris Riccomini commented on SAMZA-235:
---------------------------------------
I like (2) best. We can just have a call-out in the hello-samza tutorial that
says, if you don't have internet access, don't run the raw wikipedia job, just
run a command that pipes data into the wikipedia raw topic. We can check in a
small file, and just tell users to feed it into kafka with something like:
{noformat}
while sleep 1; do deploy/kafka/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh < cat
wikipedia-raw.json; done
{noformat}
> Add internal input stream for hello-samza

> As reported by Sonali and Yan Fang, some corporations blocks IRC
> service/port. So they will not be able to run the hello-samza successfully.

> As suggested by [~jghoman] and [~criccomini] , we should add internal input
> stream for hello-samza as an alternative. There are two ways:
> 1. use simulate/fake data.
> 2. use local environment related data.
> I lean to the first approach. We can simulate wikimedia data (though it is a
> little boring). Because it can reuse the WikipediaParserStreamTask and
> WikipediaStatsStreamTask. Another reason is, since we use simulate data, the
> output is very predictable, that will help bring hello-samza to integration
> test stated in SAMZA-205 .
> In addition, if we use FS reader in SAMZA-138 , that will also be a good
> example for writing SystemFactory (besides the out-of-box KafkaSystemFactory).
