Introduction to CSP Community Edition

The Community Edition of Cloudera Streams Processing (CSP) is a standalone deployment of Streams Messaging and Streaming Analytics. You can use this dockerized version Streams Messaging and Streaming Analytics to quickly set up, and try out real-time streams processors in your local environment using Apache Kafka, Schema Registry (SR), Streams Messaging Manager (SMM), Kafka Connect, Apache Flink, and SQL Stream Builder (SSB).

Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka supports millions of messages per second with low latency and high throughput, scaling elastically and transparently without downtime. It addresses a wide range of streaming data initiatives, enabling enterprises to keep up with customer demand, provide better services, and proactively manage risk.

Schema Registry

Schema Registry lets you manage, share, and support the evolution of all producer and customer schemas in a shared schema repository that allows applications to flexibly interact with each other across the Kafka landscape. It safely mitigates interruptions that occur due to schema mismatches.

Streams Messaging Manager

Streams Messaging Manager provides a single pane of glass view with end-to-end visibility into how data moves across Kafka clusters—among producers, brokers, topics, and consumers—allowing you to track data lineage and governance from edge to cloud. It also simplifies troubleshooting of Kafka environments with intelligent filtering and sorting.

Apache Flink

Apache Flink is a distributed processing engine and a scalable data analytics framework. You can use Flink to process data streams on a large scale to deliver real-time analytical insights.

SQL Stream Builder

SQL Stream Builder (SSB) is a comprehensive interactive user interface for creating stateful stream processing jobs using SQL powered by Apache Flink. By using SQL, you can simply and easily declare expressions that filter, aggregate, route, and otherwise mutate streams of data. SSB is a job management interface that you can use to compose and run SQL on streams, as well as to create durable data APIs for the results.
