I guess the use cases as documented look really compelling. There might be 
more comments from code review perspective and below is more from a use case 
perspective only.

I was wondering if you have any latency measurements for the tests you ran. 

If the image processing calls ( in the process function overridden from the 
Toolkit class ) are time consuming it might not be an ideal use case for a 
streaming engine? A very old "blog" (2012)  talks about latencies anywhere 
between tens of milliseconds to almost a second depending on the use case and 
image size. Of course there were hardware improvements and those numbers might 
no longer hold good and hence the question (of course the latencies depend on 
hardware being used as well ) 

This brings me to the next question in general about Apex to the community : 
what is considered an acceptable tolerance level in terms of latencies for 
streaming compute engine like Apex. Is there a way to tune the acceptable 
tolerance level depending on the use case ? I keep reading from the mailing 
lists that the aspect of tuple processing is part of the main thread and hence 
should be as fast as possible.
