Hi There! I'm wondering what the intent of the multilang-javascript module and the storm.js file is ( https://github.com/apache/storm/tree/master/storm-multilang/javascrip). Is this intended as a reference or example implementation of a node.js/storm integration? Or are you intending storm.js to be the canonical node.js multilang wrapper that everyone should use for real/production storm projects that use the multilang protocol to communicate with node.js bolts and spouts?
The reason I ask is that my team is starting to look at adding storm topologies to a large node.js project, and we are trying to decide whether to use the storm.js file included in the storm distribution as our starting point, or use a 3rd party library or roll our own. I haven't found any 3rd party libraries that seem actively maintained. The storm.js file looks good, but seems to only expose a limited number of features (no support for bolts that do not ack automatically, no hooks for tick tuples, etc.). We'd be happy to submit some PRs to add this functionality, and add the metadata files to make it a real node.js package. Is that something you would want to add to storm-multilang? Or is that beyond the scope of what you intended the multilang-javascript module to be? Let me know what you think! Thanks, Marc
