In this tutorial, we'll take an in-depth view of what's happening when you execute a simple Onyx program. All of the code can be found in the Onyx Starter repository if you'd like to follow along. The code uses the development environment with HornetQ and ZooKeeper running in memory, so you don't need additional dependencies to run the example for yourself on your machine.
At the core of the program is the workflow - the flow of data that we ingest, apply transformations to, and send to an output for storage. In this program, we're going to ingest some sentences from an input source, split the sentence into individual words, play with capitalization, and add a suffix. Finally, we'll send the transformed data to an output source.
Let's examine the workflow pictorially:
