I thought about that distinction. Ultimately, I decided upon a function
based on the following criteria:
1, There is no bulk publishing mechanism with MQTT, so there wouldn't be
any performance benefit in processing tuples in batch.
2. Aside from publishing a message with a QoS of 2, we don't have any way
to truly determine if it reached all subscribers, only the broker, and if the
broker dies...??
3. Exactly once is virtually impossible with MQTT in a distributed
environment.
4. Most MQTT use cases that need to scale avoid QoS 2 because of the
overhead.
That being said, I'm perfectly open to exploring a MQTT State
implementation if it would be useful.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-1406
> Project: Apache Storm
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: P. Taylor Goetz

>
> MQTT is a lightweight publish/subscribe protocol frequently used in IoT
> applications.
> Further information can be found at http://mqtt.org
> Initial features include:
> * Full MQTT support (e.g. last will, QoS 0-2, retain, etc.)
> * Spout implementation(s) for subscribing to MQTT topics
> * A bolt implementation for publishing MQTT messages
> * A trident function implementation for publishing MQTT messages
> * Authentication and TLS/SSL support
> * User-defined "mappers" for converting MQTT messages to tuples (subscribers)
> * User-defined "mappers" for converting tuples to MQTT messages (publishers)
