Connect local cluster(cloud) with volttron

[so3500]

Please kindly forward this query (if not appropriate) to the right channel.

I’m working on cloud supported volttron (big data analytic).

Currently I'm working on version 4.0.1.

I would like to

• Configure local cluster (cloud) and send data of devices topic from volttron to local cluster.
• Then, process collected data via big data processing frameworks (e.g., spark, hadoop) and send messages (i.e, device control) to one of volttron instances.

To do this, I have checked and tried to use cloud agent according to Overview below: http://volttron.readthedocs.io/en/4.0.1/overview/index.html

However, there seems to be no code implementation. Please kindly let me know any pointer to the codes or (if not exist) kindly confirm which direction I should follow:

1st Approach (use vip)

• install volttron in cloud and use forward agent (or make agent in big data framework interface to connect to volttron)

2nd Approach (use http protocol):

• customize agent (or create a cloud agent our own) to connect it to [local]cloud via http

3rd Approach(use socket):

• same as 2nd approach but use socket

Any comments and advice would be appreciable as I await your sincere response.

Thank you in advance!

@acedrew I solved this problem by implementing a kafka agent. Thanks! ref. How about adding an Apache Kafka agent? #1525
