Dear All, My concern is about on which queue Storm relies to for back-pressure. I did simple test for back-pressure supported by Storm.Each instance (executor) maintains incoming(receive) Q and outgoing(transfer) Q, and according to min and max threshold on these queues, a back-pressure works to slow down the spout in case of queue buildup. The purpose I wanted to make sure in case of link bottleneck whether back-pressure still helps or not. The conclusion, it helps only in case of queue buildup due to CPU bottleneck. I guess the reason for which why it could not make it for link bottleneck, because back-pessure relies only on the executor receive Q. Does this make sense? If so, could we anyway make the back-pressure also working if ececutor transfer Q is full in case of link bottleneck? Thanks! Best,AlgobySent from Yahoo Mail on Android
