Hi Matthias, Thanks for your reply.
Consider this, say the max number of tasks for a bolt B is set to 3. But at some point of time, I want to deploy B on 6 different machines. How would I do that ?? I am new to Storm and your answer will improve my understanding of the platform. Thanks a lot. On 19/06/2015 6:59 pm, "Matthias J.
