Well, yes :-)  
And clearly it should always be more efficient to write a custom bolt in Java 
than to invoke a script and manage it.

Wouldn’t that be a bolt?

Should we consider a script calling capability that can launch a streaming 
script and keep it alive and fed, long-term, rather than launching the script 
anew every time the Stellar function is invoked? I’m thinking two basic rules: 
Write a line, read a line; and always have a timeout. Prob need a UID of some 
sort for a cache of running process objects.

Inserting a script inline is ok for low throughput and prototyping but once you 
get higher throughput (millions of events per second), it’s probably going to 
be a bottleneck. 


For Metron-571 you might want to consider a java based extension plugin similar 
to Eclipse plugins.
