Github user harshach commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2117 @srdo @HeartSaVioR @erikdw I understand this PR is merged. But we should be extremely careful when we break the backward incompatibility , if it justifies better implementation of a connector yes but I don't agree on doing this for check style issues. I think we need to propose a better way to get the changes in. We can adopt the KIP style proposals in Storm community that can be discussed and voted upon before we agree. We can skip small changes/bug fixes out of this process and use it bigger changes and back-ward incompatible changes. I started discussion thread we can continue there. Thanks.
