----------------------------------

[~pramod.immaneni]

I tried to make the BufferServer start on-demand when any operator needs to 
send tuples to different containers (even during dynamic partitioning), but It 
required a lot of changes. 
Also looking at the Buffer Server code, it allocates most of the 
resources(DataList) only when there is Publish/Subscribe request, so not much 
resource are wasted to keep it running. Another point, there is a Jira to allow 
users to bypass bufferserver, so for this jira "won't fix".

> BufferServer should not be deployed in the containers with only Output 
> operators

> BufferServer is started in all the streaming containers, but it is not 
> required in all the containers. 
> For example, Containers with only Output operators or the containers with 
> output ports which are not connected to ports outside the containers don't 
> need BufferServer.
> During the operator deployment, it is assumed that BufferServer is already 
> started in every container, that needs to be changed to address this issue.
