Thank you Aaron,
I too did try to check the code to see if there is any way to modify the code
and get this feature.
But it seemed too intricate. I was trying to get an idea if there are any
possible solutions the other users came up with in this situation.

Subject: Re: Storm-HDFS bolt file paths according to input Tuples
Shivpriya,
I have thought about solving that same problem, and there is no easy answer in
the current code that I could see. You would have to modify hdfs-bolt to track
a group of file handles into HDFS and define a mechanism to map a tuple to the
corresponding file handle, create it if it doesn’t already exist, etc. And you
have to do it in a way that works for all of the existing flavors of hdfs-bolt
(text files, sequence files, avro files). Now hive-bolt does something
conceptually similar in that in manages a connection pool, limits maximum
connections, closes old connections, etc. so the pattern does exist but
implementing it would be tantamount to a rewrite of hdfs-bolt.
For the problem I was trying to solve, this approach would have provided only a
very small benefit, so I didn’t pursue it beyond some high level design work.
You could open a JIRA for this feature request.
Thanks, Aaron

Subject: Storm-HDFS bolt file paths according to input Tuples
Hello,
I am trying to write data into HDFS using the storm-hdfs bolt
http://storm.apache.org/documentation/storm-hdfs.html
The problem I am trying to solve is that I want the file paths to be set
according to the input tuples.
FileNameFormat fileNameFormat = new DefaultFileNameFormat()
.withPath("/foo/“);
I am getting inputs from various users and what want to do is set the file
paths according to the username e.g. "/user1/“ , “/user2/“
As far as I know once the path is set for the bolt it can’t be changed unless
you have file rotation policy set which is not what I want to do.
Has anyone else tried to solve this before ? Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Shivpriya
