This section will cover a small use case which uses Kafka and Spark Streaming to detect a fraud IP, and the number of times the IP tried to hit the server. We will cover the use case in the following:
- Producer: We will use Kafka Producer API, which will read a log file and publish records to Kafka topic. However, in a real case, we may use Flume or producer application, which directly takes a log record on a real-time basis and publish to Kafka topic.
- Fraud IPs list: We will maintain a list of predefined fraud IP range which can be used to identify fraud IPs. For this application we are using in memory IP list which can be replaced by fast key based lookup, such as HBase.
- Spark Streaming: Spark Streaming application will read records from Kafka topic and will detect IPs and domains which are suspicious.
