Sriharsha Chintalapani commented on STORM-1757: ----------------------------------------------- [~revans2] [~ptgoetz] my bad I started with "unifying APIs" :). what I meant is to have one API to do per tuple and micro batching instead of current situation of storm-core and trident. I wanted to explore if beam could be that API with which we can per tuple and micro batching . If its a possibility than we can slowly deprecate trident. "That approach would offer a unified API (Beam) over Core/Trident, which would be nice" This what I meant in my earlier comment. If we keep adding more APIs we only going to have more problems :). From my experience in talking to users, either they don't understand trident or they complain why they have to write in two different apis for per-tuple and micro batching. If Beam is not there yet we need to re-think our current API approach instead of having core and trident as separate apis addressing different use cases we should invest in having a single API that can address both. [~parth.brahmbhatt] [~satish.duggana] was suggesting using Java 8 api before in our discussions. I don't want to add more apis but having Single API to do both would be really great for users and the community. I don't want to derail the discussion of beam here but thought this is relevant to this discussion. Given we are working on java migration as part storm 2.0 I think we should consider having a single API for 2.0 release. > Apache Beam Runner for Storm > ---------------------------- > > Key: STORM-1757 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-1757 > Project: Apache Storm > Issue Type: Brainstorming > Reporter: P.
