Greetings All, I'm curious whether storm topologies can be "connected" together. By connected, I mean the spouts of one topology can stream their data from the spouts or bolts of another topology.
The requirement here is two-fold: 1. Be able to add complexity to a running topology, i.e. add additional spouts and bolts that perform further processing, but while the topologies are already running 2. Distribute the code base of an all-encompasing topology across multiple and separate topologies to reduce code complexity One possible solution is to just push the outputs of a topology to a message broker, and have a second topology stream data from the broker directly. However, I'm looking to see whether Storm has some built-in support for connecting the nodes and spouts of separate topologies together. Thank you! Rishi
