Explanation https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Streaming/Concepts/streamingoverview.htm Building consumers to read and process messages from a stream using the GetMessages API . How Streaming Works: The Streaming service provides a robust, scalable mechanism that you can use to produce and consume high volumes of data between application components. Here's how Streaming works: a producer publishes messages to a stream, which is an append-only log. These messages are distributed among the partitions using the message's key. Streams are divided into a number of partitions for scalability. Partitions allow you to distribute a stream by splitting messages across multiple nodes (or brokers). Each partition can be placed on a separate machine to allow multiple consumers to read a stream in parallel. Multiple consumers can read from any partition regardless of where the partition is hosted. A consumer can read messages from one or more streams. Each message within a stream is marked with an offset value, so a consumer can pick up where it left off if it is interrupted. You can use the Streaming service by: A.Creating a stream using the Console or API. B.Using a producer to publish data to the stream. C.
