Hi, I was initially surprised that Storm couldn't run more than 4 topologies by default. On increasing the number of supervisor slots, I was able to run more topologies. But there are two things I don't understand:
1. Was Storm designed to support only 4 default slots because it has to allocate memory for each slot and supporting 10 slots by default would have eaten up too much memory? 2. Since I have to go to each supervisor and alter each storm.yaml file to support more than 4 slots, then if I assign 5 slots to 5 supervisors, will I be able to run 5*5=25 topologies? (I've tried it only on my local system until now). -- Regards, Navin
