Spark Streaming

Spark Streaming brings Apache Spark's language-integrated API to stream processing, letting you write streaming jobs the same way you write batch jobs. It supports Java, Scala and Python. Spark Streaming recovers both lost work and operator state (e.g. sliding windows) out of the box, without any extra code on your part.

Pros

    PubNub

PubNub supports unlimited subscribers per channel. PubNub assigns each message a server-side timetoken. Messages on a channel form one ordered sequence. End-to-end delivery latency is sub-100ms.
