This adapter provides support for the KX Systems kdb+ database. kdb+ is a relational database and architecture that has proven to deliver the requirements for the real time business in capital markets. It provides a unified approach to data to enable applications for real-time performance even in high volumes of data. So, wherever speed has been the essence of competitive advantage, including algorithmic trading, cross-asset trading, program trading, real-time risk management, real-time order book, pre and post trade risk, rapid back testing of trading strategies and compliance reporting, kdb+ has come out as a primary name.
To develop CEP applications on kdb+, this adapter provides connectivity between kdb+ and Apama correlator. It opens the database connection statically from the parameter file and processes the upstream requests/queries from the correlator.
kdb+ provides a Java implementation of the API for connecting and running various database requests. This adapter uses this API and provides interfacing between kdb+ requests and the Apama's Normalised events.
