Hi, we are using KafkaSpout from Wurstmiester for 3 topologies. For one of the topologies, the spout has a very high failure rate. For the first two topologies, we see that the kafka spout has a "complete latency" of under 100 mse (0.9 msec and 58 msec). The third topology has the complete latency in Storm UI at 11 sec. The default value for TOPOLOGY_MESSAGE_TIMEOUT_SECS is at 10 sec. I guess this is the reason for failure.
Question: What are the reasons for a spout having such high "Complete Latency"? Does it indicate that the bolt which gets tuples from this spout has a "bottleneck" and hence unable to accept tuples and hence failures? or could there be other reasons? Please help! Thanks, Kashyap
