Jamie, can you explain a little bit more about what you’re looking for?

The GetTwitter processor is accessing the spritzer/decahose/firehouse, what 
have you, via Twitter’s Hosebird library. This library is indeed streaming the 
Tweets from their sample and filter APIs in the usual way with a persistent, 
chunk-encoded HTTP connection to 
https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/sample.json and 
https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/filter.json.

I’ll admit the name might be a little confusing since the Get might suggest 
it’s hitting one of the REST https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/ resources 
periodically instead of using a long-term HTTP connection.
