description: "The FireHose Streaming Benchmarks are a suite of stream-processing benchmarks\
  \ defined to enable comparison of streaming software and hardware, both quantitatively\
  \ vis-a-vis the rate at which they can process data, and qualitatively by judging\
  \ the effort involved to implement and run the benchmarks. Each benchmark has two\
  \ parts. The first is a generator which produces and outputs datums at a high rate\
  \ in a specific format. The second is an analytic which reads the stream of datums\
  \ and is required to perform a well-defined calculation on the collection of datums,\
  \ typically to find anomalous datums that have been created in the stream by the\
  \ generator. The FireHose suite provides code for the generators, sample code for\
  \ the analytics (which users are free to re-implement in their own custom frameworks),\
  \ and a precise definition of each benchmark calculation."
