Correction, the http post may or may not be faster than writing directly to SMB, but hopefully we can improve that speed in a more scalable manner than SMB. --Ken On May 16, 2014, at 11:17 AM, Carlile, Ken wrote: > Hi all, > > Sorry for the possible repost--hadn't seen th

Hi all, I'm looking at setting up a (small) Kafka cluster for streaming microscope data to Spark-Streaming. The producer would be a single Windows 7 machine with a 1Gb or 10Gb ethernet connection running http posts from Matlab (this bit is a little fuzzy, and I'm not the user, I'm an admin),
