URL: http://<db.host>:<db.port>/create/tablemonitor
Creates a monitor that watches for a single table modification event type (insert, update, or delete) on a particular table (identified by input parameter table_name) and forwards event notifications to subscribers via ZMQ. After this call completes, subscribe to the returned output parameter topic_id on the ZMQ table monitor port (default 9002). Each time an operation of the given type on the table completes, a multipart message is published for that topic; the first part contains only the topic ID, and each subsequent part contains one binary-encoded Avro object that corresponds to the event and can be decoded using output parameter type_schema. The monitor will continue to run (regardless of whether or not there are any subscribers) until deactivated with /clear/tablemonitor. For more information on table monitors, see Table Monitors.
