## Installation

`pip install faust-streaming`

## Documentation

- `introduction`: https://faust-streaming.github.io/faust/introduction.html
- `quickstart`: https://faust-streaming.github.io/faust/playbooks/quickstart.html
- `User Guide`: https://faust-streaming.github.io/faust/userguide/index.html

## Why the fork

We have decided to fork the original `Faust` project because there is a critical process of releasing new versions which causes uncertainty in the community. Everybody is welcome to contribute to this `fork`, and you can be added as a maintainer.

We want to:

- Ensure continues release
- Code quality
- Use of latest versions of kafka drivers (for now only [aiokafka](https://github.com/aio-libs/aiokafka))
- Support kafka transactions
- Update the documentation

and more...

## Usage

```python
# Python Streams
# Forever scalable event processing & in-memory durable K/V store;
# as a library w/ asyncio & static typing.
import faust
```

**Faust** is a stream processing library, porting the ideas from
`Kafka Streams` to Python.

It is used at `Robinhood` to build high performance distributed systems
and real-time data pipelines that process billions of events every day.

Faust provides both *stream processing* and *event processing*,
sharing similarity with tools such as `Kafka Streams`, `Apache Spark`, `Storm`, `Samza`, `Flink`,

It does not use a DSL, it's just Python!
This means you can use all your favorite Python libraries
when stream processing: NumPy, PyTorch, Pandas, NLTK, Django,
Flask, SQLAlchemy, ++

Faust requires Python 3.6 or later for the new `async/await`_ syntax,
and variable type annotations.

Here's an example processing a stream of incoming orders:

```python

app = faust.App('myapp', broker='kafka://localhost')

# Models describe how messages are serialized:
# {"account_id": "3fae-...", amount": 3}
class Order(faust.Record):
    account_id: str
    amount: int

@app.agent(value_type=Order)
async def order(orders):
    async for order in orders:
        # process infinite stream of orders.
        print(f'Order for {order.account_id}: {order.amount}')
```

The Agent decorator defines a "stream processor" that essentially
consumes from a Kafka topic and does something for every event it receives.

The agent is an `async def` function, so can also perform
other operations asynchronously, such as web requests.

This system can persist state, acting like a database.
Tables are named distributed key/value stores you can use
as regular Python dictionaries.

Tables are stored locally on each machine using a super fast
embedded database written in C++, called `RocksDB`.

Tables can also store aggregate counts that are optionally "windowed"
so you can keep track
of "number of clicks from the last day," or
"number of clicks in the last hour." for example. Like `Kafka Streams`,
we support tumbling, hopping and sliding windows of time, and old windows
can be expired to stop data from filling up.

For reliability, we use a Kafka topic as "write-ahead-log".
Whenever a key is changed we publish to the changelog.
Standby nodes consume from this changelog to keep an exact replica
of the data and enables instant recovery should any of the nodes fail.

To the user a table is just a dictionary, but data is persisted between
restarts and replicated across nodes so on failover other nodes can take over
automatically.

You can count page views by URL:

```python
# data sent to 'clicks' topic sharded by URL key.
# e.g. key="http://example.com" value="1"
click_topic = app.topic('clicks', key_type=str, value_type=int)

# default value for missing URL will be 0 with `default=int`
counts = app.Table('click_counts', default=int)

@app.agent(click_topic)
async def count_click(clicks):
    async for url, count in clicks.items():
        counts[url] += count
```

The data sent to the Kafka topic is partitioned, which means
the clicks will be sharded by URL in such a way that every count
for the same URL will be delivered to the same Faust worker instance.

Faust supports any type of stream data: bytes, Unicode and serialized
structures, but also comes with "Models" that use modern Python
syntax to describe how keys and values in streams are serialized:

```python
# Order is a json serialized dictionary,
# having these fields:

class Order(faust.Record):
    account_id: str
    product_id: str
    price: float
    quantity: float = 1.0

orders_topic = app.topic('orders', key_type=str, value_type=Order)

@app.agent(orders_topic)
async def process_order(orders):
    async for order in orders:
        # process each order using regular Python
        total_price = order.price * order.quantity
        await send_order_received_email(order.account_id, order)
```

Faust is statically typed, using the `mypy` type checker,
so you can take advantage of static types when writing applications.

The Faust source code is small, well organized, and serves as a good
resource for learning the implementation of `Kafka Streams`.

## Faust key points

### Simple

Faust is extremely easy to use. To get started using other stream processing
solutions you have complicated hello-world projects, and
infrastructure requirements.  Faust only requires Kafka,
the rest is just Python, so If you know Python you can already use Faust to do
stream processing, and it can integrate with just about anything.

Here's one of the easier applications you can make::

```python
import faust

class Greeting(faust.Record):
    from_name: str
    to_name: str

app = faust.App('hello-app', broker='kafka://localhost')
topic = app.topic('hello-topic', value_type=Greeting)

@app.agent(topic)
async def hello(greetings):
    async for greeting in greetings:
        print(f'Hello from {greeting.from_name} to {greeting.to_name}')

@app.timer(interval=1.0)
async def example_sender(app):
    await hello.send(
        value=Greeting(from_name='Faust', to_name='you'),
    )

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.main()
```

You're probably a bit intimidated by the `async` and `await` keywords,
but you don't have to know how ``asyncio`` works to use
Faust: just mimic the examples, and you'll be fine.

The example application starts two tasks: one is processing a stream,
the other is a background thread sending events to that stream.
In a real-life application, your system will publish
events to Kafka topics that your processors can consume from,
and the background thread is only needed to feed data into our
example.

### Highly Available

Faust is highly available and can survive network problems and server
crashes.  In the case of node failure, it can automatically recover,
and tables have standby nodes that will take over.

### Distributed

Start more instances of your application as needed.

### Fast

A single-core Faust worker instance can already process tens of thousands
of events every second, and we are reasonably confident that throughput will
increase once we can support a more optimized Kafka client.

### Flexible

Faust is just Python, and a stream is an infinite asynchronous iterator.
If you know how to use Python, you already know how to use Faust,
and it works with your favorite Python libraries like Django, Flask,
SQLAlchemy, NTLK, NumPy, SciPy, TensorFlow, etc.

## Bundles

Faust also defines a group of ``setuptools`` extensions that can be used
to install Faust and the dependencies for a given feature.

You can specify these in your requirements or on the ``pip``
command-line by using brackets. Separate multiple bundles using the comma:

```sh
pip install "faust[rocksdb]"

pip install "faust[rocksdb,uvloop,fast,redis, aerospike]"
```

The following bundles are available:

## Faust with extras

### Stores

`pip install faust[rocksdb]` for using `RocksDB` for storing Faust table state. **Recommended in production.**

`pip install faust[aerospike]` for using `Aerospike` for storing Faust table state. **Recommended if supported**

### Aerospike Configuration
Aerospike can be enabled as the state store by specifying
`store="aerospike://"`

By default, all tables backed by Aerospike use `use_partitioner=True` and generate changelog topic events similar
to a state store backed by RocksDB.
The following configuration options should be passed in as keys to the options parameter in [Table](https://faust-streaming.github.io/faust/reference/faust.tables.html)
`namespace` : aerospike namespace

`ttl`: TTL for all KV's in the table

`username`: username to connect to the Aerospike cluster

`password`: password to connect to the Aerospike cluster

`hosts` : the hosts parameter as specified in the [aerospike client](https://www.aerospike.com/apidocs/python/aerospike.html)

`policies`: the different policies for read/write/scans [policies](https://www.aerospike.com/apidocs/python/aerospike.html)

`client`: a dict of `host` and `policies` defined above

### Caching

`faust[redis]` for using `Redis` as a simple caching backend (Memcached-style).

### Codecs

`faust[yaml]` for using YAML and the `PyYAML` library in streams.

### Optimization

`faust[fast]` for installing all the available C speedup extensions to Faust core.

### Sensors

`faust[datadog]` for using the `Datadog` Faust monitor.

`faust[statsd]` for using the `Statsd` Faust monitor.

`faust[prometheus]` for using the `Prometheus` Faust monitor.

### Event Loops

`faust[uvloop]` for using Faust with `uvloop`.

`faust[eventlet]` for using Faust with `eventlet`

### Debugging

`faust[debug]` for using `aiomonitor` to connect and debug a running Faust worker.

`faust[setproctitle]`when the `setproctitle` module is installed the Faust worker will use it to set a nicer process name in `ps`/`top` listings.vAlso installed with the `fast` and `debug` bundles.

## Downloading and installing from source

Download the latest version of Faust from https://pypi.org/project/faust-streaming/

You can install it by doing:

```sh
$ tar xvfz faust-streaming-0.0.0.tar.gz
$ cd faust-streaming-0.0.0
$ python setup.py build
# python setup.py install
```

The last command must be executed as a privileged user if
you are not currently using a virtualenv.

## Using the development version

### With pip

You can install the latest snapshot of Faust using the following `pip` command:

```sh
pip install https://github.com/faust-streaming/faust/zipball/master#egg=faust
```

## FAQ

### Can I use Faust with Django/Flask/etc

Yes! Use ``eventlet`` as a bridge to integrate with ``asyncio``.

### Using eventlet

This approach works with any blocking Python library that can work with `eventlet`

Using `eventlet` requires you to install the `faust-aioeventlet` module,
and you can install this as a bundle along with Faust:

```sh
pip install -U faust[eventlet]
```

Then to actually use eventlet as the event loop you have to either
use the `-L <faust --loop>` argument to the `faust` program:

```sh
faust -L eventlet -A myproj worker -l info
```

or add `import mode.loop.eventlet` at the top of your entry point script:

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import mode.loop.eventlet  # noqa
```

It's very important this is at the very top of the module,
and that it executes before you import libraries.

### Can I use Faust with Tornado

Yes! Use the `tornado.platform.asyncio` [bridge](http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/asyncio.html)

### Can I use Faust with Twisted

Yes! Use the `asyncio` reactor implementation: https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.html

### Will you support Python 2.7 or Python 3.5

No. Faust requires Python 3.7 or later, since it heavily uses features that were
introduced in Python 3.6 (`async`, `await`, variable type annotations).

### I get a maximum number of open files exceeded error by RocksDB when running a Faust app locally. How can I fix this

You may need to increase the limit for the maximum number of open files.
On macOS and Linux you can use:

```ulimit -n max_open_files``` to increase the open files limit to max_open_files.

On docker, you can use the --ulimit flag:

```docker run --ulimit nofile=50000:100000 <image-tag>```
where 50000 is the soft limit, and 100000 is the hard limit [See the difference](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/29579).

### What kafka versions faust supports

Faust supports kafka with version >= 0.10.
