As all review comments are addressed, will it be merged soon? :-)
We need this feature in the IoT storm topology we're building, where bolts
send to unstable external systems and we need at-least-once consistency, so
dropping tuples on tuple timeout is bad for us.
> Add support for extending tuple tree timeout
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: STORM-1549
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-1549
> Project: Apache Storm
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: storm-core
> Reporter: Stig Rohde Døssing
> Assignee: Stig Rohde Døssing
> Priority: Minor
>
> During the discussion of https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/700 the issue
> of allowing timeout extension in case of unavailable external components
> (such as a web service) came up.
> The current implementation makes tuples fail at a set interval, regardless of
> whether or not replaying them is necessary. This can be irritating in
> topologies that emit to multiple services, since one hanging service will
> cause replays to hit all the working services as well.
> I suggest adding a resetTimeout function to IOutputCollector, which will make
> the relevant ackers and spouts reinsert the tuple tree information in their
> pending maps.
> The intended usage is that a bolt can call this function on an interval if it
> needs to delay expiration, for example if it needs to retry calling a web
> server a few times. It may also be useful for slow topologies that want Storm
> to detect hanging/dropped tuples faster than the max expected complete
> latency of the topology.
