What is the Trident in Storm?

In Storm, Trident is an advanced API used to construct complex stream processing applications. It offers developers richer operators and abstractions to make executing more intricate computations on a Storm cluster easier. Trident can be used for processing real-time data streams, performing window operations, and conducting aggregate calculations. By providing a higher level of abstraction, developers can more easily build and manage complex data processing logic. Trident also provides transactional semantics and fault tolerance mechanisms to ensure the correctness and reliability of the data processing process. It can be integrated with regular Storm topologies to offer more flexible options for application development.
