Nick Allen commented on METRON-701:
-----------------------------------

Thanks.  Originally, I was thinking of option 1 differently.  I was thinking 
that the idea was to execute the "write" Stellar statement in the context of 
the existing "builder" bolt.  Creating a separate "writer" bolt might improve 
option 1.
 
If my understanding is now correct, the difference between the improved option 
1 and option 2 is whether you have (option 1) a generic writer bolt that just 
executes a stellar statement or (option 2) you have a dedicated bolt to handle 
HBase and another for Kafka.

How would we do something like batching if we have a generic bolt that just 
executes Stellar expressions?  The Stellar function itself would have to 
implement the batching mechanism right?

> h3. Problem
> The motivating example is that I would like to create an alert if the number 
> of inbound flows to any host over a 15 minute interval is abnormal.  
> The value being interrogated here, the number of inbound flows, is not a 
> static value contained within any single telemetry message.  This value is 
> calculated across multiple messages by the Profiler.  The current Threat 
> Triage process cannot be used to interrogate values calculated by the 
> Profiler.
> h3. Proposed Solution
> I am proposing that we treat the Profiler as a source of telemetry.   The 
> measurements captured by the Profiler would be enqueued into a Kafka topic.  
> We would then treat those Profiler messages like any other telemetry.  We 
> would parse, enrich, triage, and index those messages.
> This would have the following advantages.
> 1.  We would be able to reuse the same threat triage mechanism for values 
> calculated by the Profiler.
> 2.  We would be able to generate profiles from the profiled data - aka 
> meta-profiles anyone?
