Github user HeartSaVioR commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/532#issuecomment-110219954 @itaifrenkel I see your point. Spout can skip sending nextTuple to subprocess so that we can save stdout/stdin traffic and Spout doesn't block or sleep and continue to handle ack / fail. Two points still exist, 1. When Spout can skip sending nextTuple? 2. Who is better to decide it? ShellSpout? Or subprocess?
