Hi All, I was curious to know which of the two approach is better for doing analytics using spark streaming. Lets say we want to add some metadata to the stream which is being processed like sentiment, tags etc and then perform some analytics using these added metadata.
1) Is it ok to make a http call and add some extra information to the stream being processed in the updateByKeyAndWindow operations. 2) Add these sentiment/tags before and then stream through DStreams. Thanks, Shrikar
