🚀 Revolutionary Real-time Stream Processing & Analytics Engine (Issue #31)

[konard]

🎯 Summary

This PR implements a revolutionary real-time stream processing and analytics engine as requested in Issue #31, establishing streaming as our core competitive advantage. The implementation adds advanced stream processing capabilities that no other JavaScript shell library provides.

✨ Revolutionary Features Implemented

📊 Real-time Stream Analytics

• .analyze(config) - Live metrics collection during command execution
• Error rate monitoring with custom predicates
• Response time analysis and averaging
• Throughput tracking (bytes/sec, messages/sec)
• Custom metrics with timestamp tracking
• Real-time analytics updates on every chunk

const analytics = $`tail -f access.log`.analyze({
  errorRate: line => line.includes('ERROR'),
  responseTime: line => extractTime(line),
  customMetrics: {
    userSessions: line => extractUserId(line)
  }
});

for await (const chunk of analytics) {
  console.log(`Errors: ${chunk.analytics.errorRate}, Avg Response: ${chunk.analytics.avgResponseTime}ms`);
}

🔄 Stream Transforms

• .map(transform) - Transform each line with async support
• .filter(predicate) - Filter content with custom predicates
• .reduce(reducer, initial) - Accumulate with .aggregate() method
• Method chaining - Combine transforms: .map().filter().batch()

const processed = $`git log --oneline`
  .map(line => line.toUpperCase())
  .filter(line => line.includes('FIX'))
  .batch(5);

🌿 Stream Splitting

• .split(predicate) - Split streams into matched/unmatched
• Parallel processing of different content types
• Real-time content classification

const logs = $`tail -f app.log`.split(line => line.includes('ERROR'));

// Process errors and info separately
Promise.all([
  processErrors(logs.matched),
  processInfo(logs.unmatched)
]);

🔀 Stream Merging

• merge(stream1, stream2, ...) - Combine multiple streams
• Preserves source metadata with streamIndex
• Built-in analytics for merged streams
• Race-based merging for real-time combination

const combined = merge(
  $`docker logs app1`, 
  $`docker logs app2`,
  $`docker logs app3`
).analyze({ errorRate: line => line.includes('ERROR') });

📦 Advanced Buffering Strategies

• .batch(size, timeWindow) - Size or time-based batching
• .slidingWindow(size) - Sliding window analysis
• Memory-efficient bulk processing
• Time-based flush strategies

// Batch every 10 items OR every 500ms
const batched = $`streaming-command`.batch(10, 500);

// Sliding window of last 5 items
const windowed = $`sensor-data`.slidingWindow(5);

📈 Performance & Technical Excellence

Line-by-Line Processing

• Memory efficient - Processes data as individual lines, not full buffers
• Real-time - Transformations applied immediately on arrival
• Scalable - Handles large streams without memory accumulation

Advanced Architecture

• Async iterator based - Full ES2021+ compatibility
• Composable design - Chain any combination of operations
• Error resilient - Graceful handling of transform failures
• Type-aware - Maintains chunk metadata throughout pipeline

Backward Compatibility

• Zero breaking changes - All existing code continues to work
• Progressive enhancement - New features are additive
• API consistency - Follows established patterns

🎭 Real-World Use Cases Enabled

Log Monitoring & Alerting

const alerts = $`tail -f /var/log/app.log`
  .analyze({ errorRate: line => line.includes('FATAL') })
  .filter(chunk => chunk.analytics.errorRate > 0)
  .batch(1);

for await (const batch of alerts) {
  await sendAlert(`Fatal errors detected!`);
}

CI/CD Pipeline Analytics

const buildAnalytics = $`ci-build-command`
  .analyze({
    testFailures: line => line.includes('FAILED'),
    coverage: line => extractCoverage(line)
  });

Multi-Service Monitoring

const services = merge(
  $`docker logs service-a`,
  $`docker logs service-b`, 
  $`docker logs service-c`
).analyze({
  errorRate: (line, streamIndex) => line.includes('ERROR')
});
