Flexible event ingestion framework in an event processing system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, configures one or more computer systems to perform at least:

• instructions that cause the one or more processors to implement an adapter for ingesting information that identifies a plurality of events of a source document, the adapter comprising:
• a transport component that receives at least a first event of the plurality of events of the source document;
• and
• a mapper component that converts a first input type of the first event into a second input type;
• instructions that cause the one or more processors to receive, from a second adapter different from the adapter implemented for ingesting the information, at least one additional component for modifying the adapter, the at least one additional component comprising at least one of a trigger component, an extractor component, a filter component, a converter component, or a change detector component, and the second adapter comprising a built-in adapter of an event processing system configured to at least one of ingest the information or ingest a different set of events from the information;
• instructions that cause the one or more processors to modify the adapter by implementing the at least one additional component with the transport component and the mapper component as part of ingesting the information of the source document;
• instructions that cause the one or more processors to execute the modified adapter to generate a tuple for at least the first event;
• and
• instructions that cause the one or more processors to provide the tuple to an event server.

A system, comprising:

• a memory storing a plurality of instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to access the memory, the processor further configured to execute the plurality of instructions to at least:
• identify an input source comprising information that identifies a plurality of events;
• implement an adapter for ingesting the information of the input source, the adapter comprising:
• a transport component that receives at least a first event of the plurality of events of the input source;
• and
• a mapper component that converts a first input type of the first event into a second input type;
• receive, from a second adapter different from the adapter implemented for ingesting the information, at least one additional component for modifying the adapter, the at least one additional component comprising at least one of a trigger component, an extractor component, a filter component, a converter component, or a change detector component, and the second adapter comprising a built-in adapter of an event processing system configured to at least one of ingest the information or ingest a different set of events from the information;
• modify the adapter by implementing the at least one additional component with the transport component and the mapper component as part of ingesting the information;
• generate a tuple for at least the first event based at least in part on the modified adapter;
• and
• provide the tuple to an event server.
