Hi everyone, I developed a prototype of a platform that uses Apache Storm behinds the scenes. My platform's "developer mode", which is currently the only one supported, uses Storm in its local mode.
For small applications, that only had up to ~3 simple topologies, this worked great. However, for slightly larger systems (~5 topologies) I find that some of the topologies are not executed. I suspect that the local cluster is configured with a small number of executors, so when the number of bolts and spouts I'm using (with p=1) exceeds the number of executors, no further topologies are scheduled. I know the "real" solution to this problem is to use a real cluster, but using local mode is very convenient for development. Is there a config I can set to tune up the number of executors (or alternatively, is my understanding of the problem correct)? Thanks, Boaz.
