Nice suggestions Roshan and Taylor. I think we can start with a release announcement (maybe with pointers to the docs) and follow it up with blog posts that deep dives into the different features and improvements.
A few from my side for the release announcement would be, - Streams API - A typed API for users to express their streaming computations more easily and supports functional style operations. [1] - Windowing enhancements and support for window state checkpointing [2] Would also try to do some write up for blogs around this once we figured out how to go about the blog series. - Arun [1] https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/master/docs/Stream-API.md [2] https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/master/docs/Windowing.md#stateful-windowing On Tue, 22 Jan 2019 at 09:57, P.
