Third post in a series on features of Volt Active Data Version 9.2.
Version 9.2 of Volt Active Data introduces two new features that are highly relevant to people developing streaming applications. This is part three of a series of three blog posts:
Introducing MIGRATE
Introducing CREATE TASK
Table Of Contents
This demo showcases some Volt Active Data features:
- The MIGRATE command.
- Directed Procedures and Scheduled Tasks.
All of the code is available here.
Scenario
We are pretending to be a system for detecting rogue drones in central London. Various locations are forbidden to drones. We need to raise the alarm if a drone gets too close to one of these locations. We also need to raise an alarm if we stop getting reports for a drone. We are expecting 10’s of thousands of position reports per second.
Schema
We have the following tables, views and export

Procedures
The application has two stored procedures:
ReportLocation
‘ReportLocation’ is fed mock data by the test client (TaskMigrateDemoClient), but in a real world deployment would be configured to read messages from a queue such as Kafka or Kinesis.
ReportLocation takes a position report for a drone and updates the database. It also:
- Checks to see if the drone is too close to an important_location.
- MIGRATES any extra drone_location records
This is called repeatedly from the demo’s client program.
FindStaleDroneReports
FindStaleDroneReports finds any drones that have failed to report for too long a time period and writes a message to missing_drone_stats. It also updates the drone record to prevent duplicate reports. FindStaleDroneReports is run as a TASK every 250 milliseconds
Installation and setup
To run this you need to go through the following steps:
- Setup Volt Active Data. It can be downloaded from here.
- Get the source for this demo from here.
- The source has a dependency on a utility for creating DDL objects, which is available here.
- The Volt Active Data classes voltdb-9.2.jar and voltdbclient-9.2.jar (or later) will need to be in your classpath
- Compile and run the class TaskMigrateDemoClient.java.
- The first time you run the client (see below) it will create all the database objects for you.
- Once you have the application running you can then configure export streams (see below)
Configure Export Streams
In order to fully observe the functionality of this demo you’ll need to get export up and running. This can be done in two ways:
Configure Streams from within the Volt Active Data GUI
This can be done by going to the Admin tab of the Volt Active Data Management Console GUI and creating entries like these:Note that you’ll need to change ‘outdir’ to a directory that exists on your computer. You could also set this up to go to Kafka (for example) by selecting it from the ‘type’ dropdown.
Configure streams by shutting down the database and editing deployment.xml
An alternative approach is to shut down Volt Active Data and then add the following entries to the database’s deployment.xml configuration file: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When you restart the database the export configuration should look like the one above.

Note that you may have to try various combinations of tps and size to get interesting results. The higher tps is the more records get written to ‘drone_locations’, and the higher the value of ‘size’ the more likely it is that locations will get old enough to be flagged as ‘missing’ and reported to ‘missing_drones’.
When running it calls the procedure GetStatus every 100,000 iterations, so you can see aggregate information about what is going on.
The first time it runs it starts by creating all the objects needed:

It then sends ReportLocation messages to the server, at a rate of ‘tps’ per second. Every 100,000 events we call GetStatus, which show how many drones have been active over the last few minutes and how many appear to be missing:

When running the ‘Db Monitor’ tab of the Volt Active Data GUI should look like this:As the demo progresses the Export tab will show records being written:
Meanwhile if you look at the directory you requested the file exporter to write to you’ll see files being written:

Conclusion
In this demo we’ve shown how you can use Volt Active Data to create a fast, scalable application that takes important, stateful decisions in real time. In addition to showing how we can correlate the latest position of a device with its proximity to a location we also show how we can make smart decisions, such as reporting a device as missing once (and only once).
