- A programming paradigm which views streams, or sequences of events in time, as the central input and output objects of computation. Stream processing encompasses dataflow programming, reactive programming, and distributed data processing. Stream processing systems aim to expose parallel processing for data streams and rely on streaming algorithms for efficient implementation. Stream processing simplifies parallel software and hardware by restricting the parallel computation that can be performed. ← Wikipedia
