Github user revans2 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2505 @HeartSaVioR It is totally possible to do. The problem we ran into was that I would change something in one tab (like searching for a specific keyword), and then refresh a different tab for a different topology and it would pick up the changes. It was just not a good user experience because users would not know why something on one page/tab impacted things on another page/tab. That is why we started to make the setting topology specific and then made them session based to avoid leaks. I will see if I can come up with a simpler way to deal with this.
