Introducing the ReactiveInflux: non-blocking InfluxDB driver for Scala and Java supporting Apache Spark

I am excited to announce a very first release of ReactiveInflux developed at Pygmalios. InfluxDB missed a non-blocking driver for both Scala and Java. Immutability, testability and extensibility are key features of ReactiveInflux. Comming with a support for Apache Spark it is the weapon of choice.

• https://github.com/pygmalios/reactiveinflux

It internally uses Play Framework WS API which is a rich asynchronous HTTP client built on top of Async Http Client.
 

Features

• asynchronous (non-blocking) interface for Scala
• synchronous (blocking) interface for Scala and Java
• supports both Spark and Spark streaming
• immutability
• testability
• extensibility

Compatibility

• InfluxDB 0.11, 0.10 and 0.9 (maybe even older too)
• Scala 2.11 and 2.10
• Java 7 and above
• Apache Spark 1.4 and above

Scala asynchronous (non-blocking) example

val result = withInfluxDb(new URI("http://localhost:8086/"), "example1") { db =>
  db.create().flatMap { _ =>
    val point = Point(
      time        = DateTime.now(),
      measurement = "measurement1",
      tags        = Map("t1" -> "A", "t2" -> "B"),
      fields      = Map(
        "f1" -> 10.3,
        "f2" -> "x",
        "f3" -> -1,
        "f4" -> true)
    )
    db.write(point).flatMap { _ =>
      db.query("SELECT * FROM measurement1").flatMap { queryResult =>
        println(queryResult.row.mkString)
        db.drop()
      }
    }
  }
}

Scala synchronous (blocking) example

implicit val awaitAtMost = 10.seconds
syncInfluxDb(new URI("http://localhost:8086/"), "example1") { db =>
  db.create()

  val point = Point(
    time        = DateTime.now(),
    measurement = "measurement1",
    tags        = Map("t1" -> "A", "t2" -> "B"),
    fields      = Map(
      "f1" -> 10.3,
      "f2" -> "x",
      "f3" -> -1,
      "f4" -> true)
  )
  db.write(point)

  val queryResult = db.query("SELECT * FROM measurement1")
  println(queryResult.row.mkString)

  db.drop()
}

Java synchronous (blocking) example

// Use Influx at the provided URL
ReactiveInfluxConfig config = new JavaReactiveInfluxConfig(
  new URI("http://localhost:8086/"));
long awaitAtMostMillis = 30000;
try (SyncReactiveInflux reactiveInflux = new JavaSyncReactiveInflux(
  config, awaitAtMostMillis)) {
    SyncReactiveInfluxDb db = reactiveInflux.database("example1");
    db.create();

    Map tags = new HashMap<>();
    tags.put("t1", "A");
    tags.put("t2", "B");

    Map fields = new HashMap<>();
    fields.put("f1", 10.3);
    fields.put("f2", "x");
    fields.put("f3", -1);
    fields.put("f4", true);

    Point point = new JavaPoint(
        DateTime.now(),
        "measurement1",
        tags,
        fields
    );
    db.write(point);

    QueryResult queryResult = db.query("SELECT * FROM measurement1");
    System.out.println(queryResult.getRow().mkString());

    db.drop();
}

Apache Spark Scala example

val point1 = Point(
  time        = DateTime.now(),
  measurement = "measurement1",
  tags        = Map(
    "tagKey1" -> "tagValue1",
    "tagKey2" -> "tagValue2"),
  fields      = Map(
    "fieldKey1" -> "fieldValue1",
    "fieldKey2" -> 10.7)
)
sc.parallelize(Seq(point1)).saveToInflux()

Apache Spark streaming Scala example

val point1 = Point(
  time        = DateTime.now(),
  measurement = "measurement1",
  tags        = Map(
    "tagKey1" -> "tagValue1",
    "tagKey2" -> "tagValue2"),
  fields      = Map(
    "fieldKey1" -> "fieldValue1",
    "fieldKey2" -> 10.7)
)
val queue = new mutable.Queue[RDD[Point]]
queue.enqueue(ssc.sparkContext.parallelize(Seq(point1)))
ssc.queueStream(queue).saveToInflux()

Apache Spark Java example

...
SparkInflux sparkInflux = new SparkInflux("example", 1000);
sparkInflux.saveToInflux(sc.parallelize(Collections.singletonList(point)));

Apache Spark streaming Java example

...
SparkInflux sparkInflux = new SparkInflux("example", 1000);
Queue> queue = new LinkedList<>();
queue.add(ssc.sparkContext().parallelize(Collections.singletonList(point)));
sparkInflux.saveToInflux(ssc.queueStream(queue));
