STORM-1494: Support multiple file outputs This PR will enable storm-hdfs to write to multiple files in a couple of different circumstances: - If a bolt requires multiple output files. For example, the avro bolt needs to write different Avro records with different schemas to different files. Schema evolution is a common use of Avro so I expect this to be common use. - Partitioning output of the HDFS bolt. Based on mailing discussion, there is demand for this feature. It does introduce a couple of incompatible changes. The most obvious is adding a method to the FileRotationPolicy interface. I tried to minimize other API changes at the expense of some less than elegant code in a couple of places.
