This sample application takes a simulated New York Stock Exchange feed and returns two output streams representing the best bid and the best ask, respectively.
The implementation uses a Query Table to track best bids and asks while the application is running. A Query operator reads the bid price and ask price fields of each new tuple and compares it to the current best price and ask price values in the Query Table. It updates the table if the tuple's bid price is higher than the table's best bid, or if the ask price is lower than the current best ask.
The Query operator passes the data along two identical streams into two Filter operators. The IsNewBestAsk filter compares the new tuple's ask price to the best ask value that is stored in the table. A match signifies a new best ask, and the data is passed through a Map operator and emitted on the application's BestAsks output stream. If there is no match, no data is emitted on the output stream for that tuple. The IsNewBestBid filter performs the same work for bids, and the application emits the result on the BestBids output stream.
