5 High Volume VNF Event Streaming (HV-VES) Collector
6 ==================================================
8 .. Add or remove sections below as appropriate for the platform component.
11 **HV-VES collector** has been proposed, based on a need to process high-volumes of data generated frequently by a large
12 number of NFs. The driving use-case is described and published within presentation during Casablanca Release Developer Forum:
13 `Google Protocol Buffers versus JSON - 5G RAN use-case - comparison`_.
15 .. _`Google Protocol Buffers versus JSON - 5G RAN use-case - comparison`: https://wiki.onap.org/download/attachments/25434845/Casablanca_Dev_Forum_GPB_comparison_20180621.pptx?version=1&modificationDate=1530275050000&api=v2
17 The goal of the collector is to support high volume data. It uses plain TCP connections.
18 Connections are stream-based (as opposed to request-based) and long running.
19 Payload is binary-encoded (currently using Google Protocol Buffers).
20 HV-VES uses direct connection to Kafka.
21 All these decisions were made in order to support high-volume data with minimal latency.
