Github user Ethanlm commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2366 @revans2 I ran some tests (e.g. various number of workers on 1~2 VMs) to make sure it's working properly. But I haven't done any performance testing yet. I plan to compare the performances between this patch and the original one. 0.8 and 0.2 are random numbers (just because there are 80/20 rules everywhere in the world). We will need to do some testing on different configs.
