1. Dataset Generation
- Use a script to create the dataset with English, Spanish, and French entries.
- For each entry, add a timestamp indicating when it would be processed in the simulated real-time environment.
- As required, populate fields like text, timestamp, language, user_info, and metadata.
2. Timestamp Fixing
- If we need realistic timestamp sequences, we can generate them at regular intervals (e.g., every few seconds) to mimic live data flow. For a diverse spread:
- Generate timestamps chronologically by incrementing each new entry by a set interval.
- If the data is pre-existing without timestamps, use a script to add them in sequence.
- Python’s
datetime
library can help create and manage these timestamps.
3. Testing with Real-Time Simulation
- Set up the Kafka or Kinesis stream.
- Write a data loader script that reads entries from the custom dataset at the specified intervals and sends them as messages to Kafka or Kinesis.
- For a delayed stream, use a time delay (
time.sleep
) in the script based on the timestamp difference between entries.
