HyperStream Tutorial 3: Stream composition

We will be ussing the tool created in the previous tutorial and we will compose the output of the stream with a new one.

Stream composition

We can compose a chain of streams using different tools to get a new stream. As an example, we can use the tool read_csv to generate a stream from a csv file. Then, we can apply the tool list_mean, that computes the mean of all the values of each instance of a stream, and outputs a new stream. Finally, we can define the new stream to store the output in memory or in a MongoDB database. In this case, we will store the final Stream in the MongoDB database.

~stream tool stream tool stream
csv_file $\rightarrow$ reader_tool $\rightarrow$ sea_ice_stream $\rightarrow$ list_mean_tool $\rightarrow$ sea_ice_mean_stream
filesystem memory memory memory MongoDB

In [3]:
list_mean_tool = hs.tools.list_mean()

sea_ice_means_stream = hs.channel_manager.mongo.get_or_create_stream('sea_ice_means')
list_mean_tool.execute(sources=[sea_ice_stream], sink=sea_ice_means_stream, interval=ti)

for key, value in sea_ice_means_stream.window().items()[:10]:
    print '[%s]: %s' % (key, value)

Visualization

We can now plot all the values of the last computed window. In this case there is only one window with all the data computed by the tool.


In [4]:
my_time, my_data = zip(*[(key.__str__(), value) for key, value in sea_ice_means_stream.window().items()])

plot_high_chart(my_time, my_data, type="high_stock", 
                title='Mean of sea levels in the Artic and the Antartica', yax='meters')
