There is an old post also talking about this and no useful reply (1+ year ago): https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/storm-user/51wualp1xUk/ywkWaMWiLCcJ
It mentioned to use the following option if we want to launch the supervisor, e.g. java -client -Dstorm.options= -Dstorm.conf.file=/app/shared/ storm/storm.yaml supervisor However, this option require the storm.yaml must be in the classpath, however, even I specified the classpath, I still not able to use that config file, like the OP, so this issue is not doable right?
