Abstract. Building a scalable, fault-tolerant stream mining system that deals with realistic data volumes presents unique challenges. Consider-able work is being done to make the development of such systems simpler, creating high level abstractions on top of existing systems. Many of the technical barriers can be eliminated by adopting a state-of-the-art inter-face, such as the Trident API for Storm. We describe a stream mining tool, based on Trident, for monitoring breaking news events on Twitter, which can be extended quickly and scaled easily.
