Roshan Naik commented on STORM-1961:
# Strong typing in the APIs is really great!
# Would be good to do away with StreamBuilder and write it more directly and
concisely :
{quote}
Stream x = new Stream(...).flatmap().blah()
{quote}
# Can we avoid the build() call there
{quote}
StormSubmitter.submitTopologyWithProgressBar("test", new Config(),
builder.build());
{quote}
and simplify it to
{quote}
StormSubmitter.submitTopologyWithProgressBar("test", new Config(), stream );
{quote}
and have the build() or whatever else needs to happen, get invoked internally
within submitTopology ?
# Good to have overloaded version taking arrays in flatMap(T[] ) and elsewhere
to natively support arrays... so that conversion via Arrays.asList is not
needed.
# The doc Needs to have a more concrete definition for Stream concept.
#* Is it just the data stream produced by the first operator/spout ? or is it
the whole pipeline of operators ?
#* is if different from what we call 'topology' in storm ? When you say ...
Stream .. what is T ? Is the type of value produced by the terminal
operator ? or that of the first ? #*What if there is a branch/split and each
terminal operator creates different types ?
#* Can a stream pick up data from two different sources ? for example from
kafka and hdfs.
# The diagram in the doc shows fields and shuffle groupings. Not clear from the
examples as to who the various gropings will be supported in the API.
# Would like to see API examples in doc as how to the grouping and parallelism
hints will be expressed in code.
# Would this API provide a mechanism to use the existing set of Storm spouts
and terminal bolts (like KafkaSpout, HdfsSpout, HbaseBolt, etc) ? Or do we need
to have new implementations ?
