streaminghub-datamux 0.1.6

A library to stream data into real-time analytics pipelines

DataMux

DataMux is a library to stream data into real-time analytics pipelines. It provides the modes listed below.

• Proxy Mode: to interface and proxy live data from sensors
• Replay Mode: to replay stored data from datasets
• Simulate Mode: to stream guided/unguided mock data for testing

Installation

First, install datamux as a pip package.

pip install streaminghub-datamux==0.1.6

Initialization

Next, configure where datamux should look for data and metadata. The configuration is stored at ~/.streaminghubrc.

python -m datamux init --data_dir="<path/to/dataset/dir>" --meta_dir="<path/to/metadata/dir>"

Usage

Imports

# Required functions / flags
import datamux.util as util
# Direct API (for running on the same system)
from datamux.api import DataMuxAPI
# Remote API (for running on a remote server)
from datamux.remote.api import DataMuxRemoteAPI

Remote API

To start the remote API, run the following at server-side.

python -m datamux serve -H "<host_name>" -p <port> -r <rpc_name> -c <codec_name>

At client side, you can connect to this server via the Python API.

server_host = "<host_name>"
server_port = <port>
server_rpc = "<rpc_name>"
server_codec = "<codec_name>"
api = DataMuxRemoteAPI(server_rpc, server_codec)
await api.connect(server_host, server_port)

Direct API

api = DataMuxAPI()

Listing Available Collections and their Streams

collections = await api.list_collections()
collection_streams = await api.list_collection_streams("name_of_collection")

Replaying a Collection-Stream

# attributes to uniquely identify a recording
attrs = dict({"subject": "A", "session": "1", "task": "1"})
# queue to append replayed data
sink = asyncio.Queue()
# start replaying data into queue
ack = await api.replay_collection_stream("name_of_colelction", "name_of_stream", attrs, sink)
# each request is assigned a unique ID for later reference
assert ack.randseq is not None
# simply await the queue to read data
while True:
    item = await sink.get()
    # checking for end-of-stream
    if item == util.END_OF_STREAM:
        break
# once done, stop the task to avoid wasting resources
await api.stop_task(ack.randseq)

Upgrade a Collection-Stream into LSL Stream

status = await api.publish_collection_stream(collection_name, stream_name, attrs)

List LSL Streams

live_streams = await api.list_live_streams()

Proxy a LSL Stream

# attributes to uniquely identify a LSL stream
attrs = dict({"subject": "19681349", "session": "1", "task": "restEC"})
# queue to append proxied data
sink = asyncio.Queue()
# start proxying LSL data into queue
ack = await api.read_live_stream("stream_name", attrs, sink)
# each request is assigned a unique ID for later reference
assert ack.randseq is not None
# simply await the queue to read data
while True:
    item = await sink.get()
    # checking for end-of-stream
    if item == util.END_OF_STREAM:
        break
# once done, stop the task to avoid wasting resources
await api.stop_task(ack.randseq)
