As part of Justin's work on PR 421 <https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/pull/421> [1], he added a rather slick little Stellar function that lets you query for location data based on an IP; GEO_GET("200.200.200.200").
We currently use a separate bolt to perform geo-enrichment. With Justin's PR and a little additional work, it would be possible to replace the existing mechanism for geo-enrichment, with one driven by Stellar. Geo-enrichment just becomes a Stellar function call. The advantage here is that it could... - Simplify the configuration for the user - Simplify the underlying enrichment topology I may be reaching a little too far, but it might be possible to collapse all forms of enrichment to Stellar. Hmm... that might be interesting.
