@revans2 , I don't think we should completely drop the plugin since there
are users using it. There were a few options proposed
https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2498#issuecomment-355423380 and I guess we
could pursue one (like shading curator within storm-druid) based on consensus.
The version conflict between storm's and the connectors dependencies is
going to be there in future as well so I guess this needs a more reasonable
solution than dropping the connector.
The druid page seem to recommend using the tranquility library due to
limitations with realtime ingestion -
