If the kafka cluster did nothing other than serve your storm cluster that might help a little bit, but it seems extreme. I wouldn't personally try that without specific performance measurements indicating that was a real bottleneck.

My use case is the to send 100 MB of raw data to Kafka, consuming from StormKafkaSpout. I would like to ask you if co-locating the StormKafkaSpout(for consuming) or StormKafkaProducer(for producing) with the Kakfa partitions where the data resides is a good practice when designing a Storm-Kafka scenario? I look forward for your answers. Regards, Florin
