Here, we use "VoterGenerater" to generate votes, which comes from txt file - votes-o-40000.txt. Using "Voter" to consume votes, validate and count votes for each contestant.

In order to save the historical votes, we use redis to save each vote.

1. install redis, see http://redis.io/topics/quickstart
2. launch redis server with command ./redis-server

1. cd VoterGenerater
2. java TCPServer votes-o-40.txt 1000 0, here 1000 is the sending interval, 0 is flag (if flag is 1, 1000 means inputrate is 1000 tuple per second)

Now the voter_1.0 is a Eclipse maven project. We can run it under Eclipse, or we should export to a runnable jar file.

1. File -> Export, and select Java -> Runnable JAR File
2. java -jar voter.jar 1000 5000 1000, here first 1000 is the batch duration, 5000 and 1000 are window size and slide size.

Notes: after each experiment, we should use "flushall" to remove all items in redis db for next experiment with redis client command tool "./redis-cli"
