I am new to Storm and have an assignment to build a web service that executes 
three tasks in parallel and then joins the results of these three tasks to send 
back to the user:                                                               
          > Task A
                                                                       /        
          \                                                                     
/                      \User -----> Web Service -----> Spout   ---->   Task B 
-->  Web Service ---> User                                                      
               \                      /                                         
                              \                  /                              
                                            > Task C   

I read through the Distributed RPC page on storm github and it suggested I 
"talk about [my] use case for non-linear DRPC topologies on the mailing list to 
inform the construction of more general abstractions for DRPC topologies." I 
would think that my use case is a common one and wanted to get recommendations 
on 1) topologies to look at and 2) will I need to use a CoordinatedBolt as the 
documentation says because of the merging requirement of Tasks A, B and C?
