Hi Dave, I am currently working on a Flux like way to deploy topologies for Heron. We've decided to call it ECO. It's based off of the already working code that Flux is built on. Within the next week I plan to open a pull request to the core committers.
So the idea is (hopefully) that you can take any Storm Flux topology with spouts and bolts defined in Java and run it directly in Heron without any code changes. So far I have this working with several topologies. However, I would like the community to test it more as I am sure there are edge cases I haven't accounted for yet. As of now, this will only work with Storm components. If you have any questions, please let me know! -Josh
