Hi, When we launch a supervisor node with storm.yaml, we can configure slots port (default is 4). Based on my understanding, this is nothing but a threshold to prevent too-many concurrent running workers (maximum is 4 by default then). However, my experiment results shows that number of slots does affect performance non-trivially.
In Hadoop earlier version, slots reserve resources. Does storm slot has the similar meaning? Can someone help me to clarify this? Thanks. Tony.
