Learner - arinto/samoa GitHub Wiki

Learners are implemented in SAMOA as sub-topologies.

public interface Learner extends Serializable{
	
	public void init(TopologyBuilder topologyBuilder, Instances dataset);

	public Processor getInputProcessor();

	public Stream getResultStream();
}

When a Task object is initiated via init(), the method init(...) of Learner is called, and the topology is added to the global topology of the task.

To create a new learner, it is only needed to add streams, processors and their connections to the topology in init(...), specify what is the processor that will manage the input stream of the learner in getInputProcessor(), and finally, specify what is going to be the output stream of the learner with getResultStream().
