I posted another note earlier asking for hints and links on in-depth
architecture documentation. I didn't get any responses. Which probably means I
am the only one with this problem.
So i'll just go ahead and ask specific questions:
What is the role of the supervisor? I know that it starts and stops the worker
processes. But does it monitor them? how? Who monitors the supervisor itself if
it goes down? Launching something with "%java storm something" is referred to
as launching the item (nimbus) under supervision. Can anything be launched like
that? Is Supervisable an interface? or a protocol?
I tried reading the supervisor's code but it looked like hieroglyphs to me.
thanks
Jeff
