Happy Holidays Metron Devs!

Could anyone lend me some guidance on customizing the storm topologies in
metron? What I am am trying to accomplish:

1) Add a method to the threat intel joiner bolt that sends an http post
with the score of the threat to a remote rest api. This will conditionally
trigger notifications based on user settings in another database (the
backend processing logic is on another platform).
The score should be available within the JSONObject but I am not an expert
with storm and I am not completely understanding what conditions constitute
when the threat feed is considered an "alert" in metron. Please clarify.

2) How would I add an external dependency, my http rest java class, to the
metron maven build process? More specifically, if I was adding a custom
class that needed accessed by a bolt in storm, how would I add this in
maven as a dependency. I have limited experience with maven but, my
understanding is that I would add it to the pom.xml ​and recompile.
Although, the metron quick dev platform is built on a vm, would I need to
account for this? Please advise.
