@arunmahadevan storm-kafka is needed only when kafka source is used in the
sql. As per the documentation, one approach user can take is to put the
additional jars in the extlib and then run the sql. Basically storm-kafka
jar/dependencies are application dependencies which are to be added by user
manually in classpath.
There are three categories of jar -
1. storm-core dependencies - under lib - added by storm command line
2. storm-sql-core/runtime dependencies - under
external/sql/storm-sql-core/runtime (add by `storm sql` command)
3. application level dependencies - To be added in classpath by user -
storm-kafka jar falls under this category.
