Hi there - I would like to set up some state that spouts and bolts share, and I'd like to prepare this state when the StormTopology gets 'activated' on a worker.
it would be great if the StormTopology had something like a prepare or open method to indicate when it is starting. I looked but i could find no such API. Maybe I should submit an enhancement request ? Thanks in advance for your responses, - Chris [ if anyone is curious, the shared state is for all my application code to check or not check invariants. the invariant checking takes additional time, so we don't want to do it in production.. but during testing/development it helps catch bugs]. -- Chris Bedford Founder & Lead Lackey Build Lackey Labs: http://buildlackey.com Go Grails!: http://blog.buildlackey.com
