Meaning of stream processing | Babel Free

Noun CEFR B2

Definitions

A computing paradigm for gathering, processing and analyzing data stream.

uncountable

Examples

“The most obvious advantage of stream processing is its ability to move⟳ many analytical or reporting processes into real time. Stream processing applications treat⟳ data not as static tables or files, but as a never-ending infinite stream that goes from what happened in the past into what will happen⟳ in the future. In database terms, instead of running a query on data collected in the past, stream processing involves running data as it arrives through a query so the results are incrementally generated as a continuous operation.”
