Purpose

The stream keyword allows you to:

  • include an existing stream in a new stream definition.
  • merge two or more streams.

The syntax is:

    stream <hash>

where <hash> is the DataSift hash that identifies the stream to be included.

Synonym

    rule <hash>

Examples

1.  Take an existing stream and add an extra rule:

2.   Merge three streams into one master stream and then add tags to identify which objects come from which streams.
