Github user cestella commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/940 @ottobackwards I haven't sent an email to the storm team, but I did run the PR past a storm committer that I know and asked his opinion prior to submitting the PR. The general answer was something to the effect of `The overall goal should be to reduce the network shuffle unless its really required.` Also, the notion of using an external threadpool didn't seem to be fundamentally offensive.
