Found these additional issues:
1- BUG: Even if topology.eventlogger.executors=0, the event_logger bolt is instantiated … previously observed to cause ~10% degradation in perf even with logging disabled. 2- Missing Jars: The storm-*-examples jars are missing in the binary distro (other than a storm-pmml-examples.jar, storm-jms-examples.jar & flux-examples.jar). 3- Minor: HdfsSpoutTopology example has not been moved into storm-hdfs-examples from storm-starter Another side observation … v1.0.3 tar.gz downloadable was 190MB. This v1.1.0 tar.gz downloadable is 297MB !! …. even though some of the example topologies didn’t make it. -roshan
