Hello there!
I am pretty experienced with using PHP for Twitter, but now I want to
use firehose and Java seems to be a much better fit because of
'Threads', so I can listen to Firehose the pass a job to a thread and
return right away. PHP cannot do that, well, maybe to some crazy hacks
that I am
While it's in Scala, not Java, I've heard good things about
@alejandrocrosa's Scala-TwitterStreamer :
http://github.com/acrosa/Scala-TwitterStreamer -- you should be able
to make use of it fairly easily in a Java environment.
We'd love to start collecting libraries built around the Streaming API.
I've used the Perl AnyEvent::Twitter::Stream CPAN module and the Ruby
tweetstream gem. Both of them work just fine, although I think the
error handling in the Perl one may have a glitch. The Perl one is
lighter on both CPU and RAM use, but that's the nature of Perl vs.
Ruby, not something
