Github user revans2 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2664 @arunmahadevan and @srdo https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2882 is for adding back in shading to the storm client. I am happy to take that up next. My real concern is the long term support for tranquility. It looks like there is consensus that dropping the druid bolt/state is not what is wanted, so I will close this pull request.
