Do we have consensus on next steps? From what I can see, everyone agrees that the addition of an isRunning method to the provider makes sense. I will create a ticket and commit that change; but, I encourage others to continue discussion on the next steps for improvement. On Thu, May 15, 2014

Steve, Thanks for the reply! I think that both can be accommodated, using different interfaces, maybe there is room for 2 types of processor? While, this paradigm might be great for Pig and MR1, it falls short on what can be done with Storm. It also falls short of many complicated ETL problems

My biggest concern against the proposed interfaces is that it won't guarantee that all streams components will be able to run in the storm runtime (which I know is not exactly working at the moment). Storm guarantees the processing of every tuple that enters the system from a spout. Therefore

Hi all, After working with the Streams project a bit, I have noticed some of the same issues that Matt and Ryan have brought up. I think that Matt's idea to implement two interfaces (Producer, Listener) would make a great addition to the project. Not only would it increase efficiency but it would

Fundamentally processors as initially conceived do not maintain fire events autonomously or maintain state between messages. Changing that paradigm would mean Pig/MR1 would not longer be capable of serving as a full-featured processor runtime. Agree this is limiting, but only in terms of what

Matt, As always thanks for your feedback and mentorship as I work to contribute to this project. I feel the current pattern for processor is extremely limiting given the constraint of the return statement rather than the alternative of receive - process - write. It seems that if we revise the
