I agree about decoupling storm-kafka from storm core for releases. We put them together initially because we wanted storm to come with batteries included. We have made some major changes to storm over the years and it has been good to have kafka integration, along with a lot of other integration, ready from day one each time we make a change.
But it is obvious that kafka is changing very quickly too and trying to keep something in sync with both kafka and storm is likely going to require a faster release cadence. Plus it looks like there is enough of a community around storm kafka integration that it can survive without the storm project attached directly to it. To make this happen though someone is going to need to step up and take lead on this. We will need a plan on what to do (is it becoming a separate repo with a separate release cycle but still a part of the storm project?) Do we plan to spin it off to be an incubator project on its own? Once we decide that we can then have a vote and get started with it. On Thu, Jan 25, 2018 at 11:19 AM P.
