Starts a streaming connection from Twitter's public API, filtered with the 'follow', 'track' and 'location' parameters. Although all of those three params are optional, at least one must be specified. The track, follow, and locations fields should be considered to be combined with an OR operator. The function returns a future of a TwitterStream that can be use to close or replace the stream when needed. If there are failures in establishing the initial connection, the Future returned will be completed with a failure. Since it's an asynchronous event stream, all the events will be parsed as entities of type CommonStreamingMessage and processed accordingly to the partial function f. All the messages that do not match f are automatically ignored. For more information see https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/reference/post/statuses/filter.

Starts a streaming connection from Twitter's firehose API of all public statuses. Few applications require this level of access. Creative use of a combination of other resources and various access levels can satisfy nearly every application use case. For more information see https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/reference/get/statuses/firehose. The function returns a future of a TwitterStream that can be use to close or replace the stream when needed. If there are failures in establishing the initial connection, the Future returned will be completed with a failure. Since it's an asynchronous event stream, all the events will be parsed as entities of type CommonStreamingMessage and processed accordingly to the partial function f. All the messages that do not match f are automatically ignored.

Starts a streaming connection from Twitter's public API, which is a a small random sample of all public statuses. The Tweets returned by the default access level are the same, so if two different clients connect to this endpoint, they will see the same Tweets. The function returns a future of a TwitterStream that can be use to close or replace the stream when needed. If there are failures in establishing the initial connection, the Future returned will be completed with a failure. Since it's an asynchronous event stream, all the events will be parsed as entities of type CommonStreamingMessage and processed accordingly to the partial function f. All the messages that do not match f are automatically ignored. For more information see https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/reference/get/statuses/sample.
