High Volume VNF Event Streaming (HV-VES) Collector
==================================================
.. Add or remove sections below as appropriate for the platform component.
**HV-VES collector** has been proposed, based on a need to process high-volumes of data generated frequently by a large
number of NFs. The driving use-case is described and published within presentation during Casablanca Release Developer Forum:
`Google Protocol Buffers versus JSON - 5G RAN use-case - comparison`_.
.. _`Google Protocol Buffers versus JSON - 5G RAN use-case - comparison`: https://wiki.onap.org/download/attachments/25434845/Casablanca_Dev_Forum_GPB_comparison_20180621.pptx?version=1&modificationDate=1530275050000&api=v2
The goal of the collector is to support high volume data. It uses plain TCP connections.
Connections are stream-based (as opposed to request-based) and long running.
Payload is binary-encoded (currently using Google Protocol Buffers).
HV-VES uses direct connection to DMaaP's Kafka.
All these decisions were made in order to support high-volume data with minimal latency.
