This document summarizes a study on real-time analytics using Apache Storm. It outlines four parts to the study: 1) learning the theory, setup, and basics of Storm, 2) using Storm with Twitter streams, 3) going beyond basic Storm concepts with an example join, and 4) participating in a Storm project and hackathon. It then describes two practices - parsing tweet URLs and tracking top hashtags - to demonstrate Storm's use for real-time analytics on Twitter data streams.
