Hi,

Specifying the spout as above won't let you write separate piece of code as
the executors/spout tasks would be executing same nextTuple method.
Instead, to have intended behavior i.e to let one spout task read from even
numbered files and other read from odd numbered files, try specifying the
spouts as below:

builder.setSpout("word-reader1",new ApiStreamingSpout(),1);
builder.setSpout("word-reader2",new ApiStreamingSpout(),1);

Now, for word-reader-1, define nextTuple in such a way that it reads from
even numbered files.
And for word-reader-2, define nextTuple to read from odd numbered files.

I guess the above way of defining the spouts would work.
