I am using Twitter Storm for my real time analytics over streaming high velocity/big data. Now I have no clue as to how can I go on visualizing the data on a browser in an effective manner. I mean the velocity at which Storm is processing is really really fast and storm is working on a cluster. I just came across the combination of Node.js and D3.js for solving this display problem. As I am not from UI nor javascript world so just wanted to know am I heading in the right direction? Can somebody explain in simple terms as to what the combination would provide me with?
Well a couple of days of research on the various javascript buzzwords led me to design a solution where Storm publishes data to Redis & Node.js is a subscriber for Redis (pub/sub). Node.js uses Socket.IO to send data further to the D3.js working on various clients. Well learning about these interesting technologies was a good break from the trifecta (Kafka, Storm, Cassandra) I was tied up with for a couple of months.
