APACHE STREAMPIPES RELEASE 0.70.0

October 13, 2022

The Apache StreamPipes (incubating) community is delighted to announce the
release of Apache StreamPipes version 0.70.0! Key highlights of this release
include many enhancements to the data explorer for fast exploration of IoT data
and a brand new asset management that allows importing and exporting of
StreamPipes resources. In addition, our new version includes more than 50
improvements and bug fixes.

The current release can be downloaded here.


PREVIEW OF EVENT SCHEMA

A very important and inevitable step when connecting to a data source with
Apache StreamPipes is the definition of the event schema. By collecting some
sample events, Apache StreamPipes is able to suggest an event schema that
describes the data structure of the incoming events. Although this works quite
well in the vast majority of cases, there is usually a need to modify the
proposed event schema to some degree or add additional fields. So far, a user
has gotten little idea of what the revised data source event schema looks like
until the adapter has been created and some data was consumed. With this
release, we have included a before/after comparison of the events while defining
the event schema. This allows to compare the proposed events of Apache
StreamPipes (before) with the events after all the user's changes have been
applied (after). The after view adapts to each interaction of the user.




EXPORT AND IMPORT STREAMPIPES RESOURCE

With this release we introduce a completely new module called Asset Management.
This can be selected in the menu bar of the modules on the left side as the
third last icon and is marked by a construction icon. This module allows to
combine several StreamPipes resources to a so called Asset, which can be
exported and re-imported later. To do this, a new asset must first be created.
Afterwards the asset can be edited and the following detail view allows to link
all resources available in StreamPipes to the asset. After the asset has been
finally saved, the asset (inlcuding all resources) can be downloaded within the
configuration module by switching to the Export/Import tab. All existing assets
are listed there and can be selected for download. The downloaded file can then
be re-imported later in the same or another StreamPipes instance at the same
place.




DOWNLOAD DATA OF CONFIGURED QUERY FROM DATA LAKE

Another new feature is the ability to download or export data from the
StreamPipes data lake defined by a user-defined query. Previously, it was only
possible to download all events belonging to a data lake index from the Data
Lake tab of the configuration menu. In addition to this, each widget in the Data
Explorer offers the possibility to download the corresponding data. The
underlying query is created from the configuration of the widget and is also
used to create the widget's figure. The download supports both CSV and JSON
format.




SLIDE VIEW IN DATA EXPLORER

Traditionally, the graphs created in the Data Explorer are displayed in a grid
view, where the user can adjust the arrangement of the figures as well as their
height and width. With this release, another option for displaying the dashboard
widgets is available: the slide view. This view allows to display a single graph
in full-screen mode and switch between views using a horizontal menu bar. When a
new Data View is created in the Data Explorer, a choice can be made between grid
view and slide view as the default display mode. Once a Data View is created,
the display mode can be changed by clicking the icon in the upper left corner
right next to the Back button.




TEMPLATES FOR ADAPTER CONFIGURATION

Similar to the processing elements, it is now possible to create templates for
adapter configurations. This allows you to start from a previously defined set
of configuration settings when creating similar adapters. To create a template
for an adapter configuration, start by creating a new adapter and configuring
all the settings that will be part of the template. Before proceeding to the
field configuration (the second step of adapter creation), save the current
configuration as a template. Whenever a new instance of the same adapter is
created, the template can be selected from the drop-down menu that appears.
Templates are only available for the same type of adapter (obviously).




UPLOAD MULTIPLE FILES AT ONCE

A rather small but very handy improvement is the possibility to upload multiple
files at once to StreamPipes. When you click the UPLOAD NEW FILE button in the
File Management module, it is now possible to select as many files as you want
in the file upload dialog.

StreamPipes 0.70.0 please visit our release notes.
