Nick Allen updated METRON-556:
------------------------------
Description:
Currently a Profile's 'group by' expression is calculated in the context of the
HBaseBolt. Specifically it is calculated in the ProfileHBaseMapper. This
mapper is run by the HBaseBolt to define how the Profile values stored in a
tuple get written to HBase. This can be refactored so that the 'group by'
expression is calculated at the same time as the 'result' expression in the
context of the ProfileBuilderBolt.
This has a few advantages. It allows any errors encountered in executing the
'group by' expression to be contained within the ProfileBuilderBolt instance
responsible for the profile/entity pair alone. Any exceptions cannot impact
the functioning of the rest of the Profiler. This is also more consistent and
simple as the HBaseBolt will receive everything that it needs, pre-calculated,
in the form of a ProfileMeasurement object.
