@arunmahadevan Our approach is to set the tick tuple frequency to be half
of the message timeout setting for the topology. Can the bolt get access to
that topology setting? prepare() passes a TopologyContext to the bolt but I
don't see a way to get configuration information out of it. However, I am not
that familiar with TopologyContext.
If that's not possible, the bolt could just set a flush frequency of 15
seconds since the storm timeout default is 30 seconds and assume that anyone
changing the timeout setting should also be adjusting the flush frequency as
well
