> Ninja Edit: I think the kafka topic written to should be pulled from
zookeeper...
@cestella I remember now why I settled on making the topic name a static
configuration from the topology properties. Our `BulkMessageWriterBolt` &
`KafkaMessageWriter` classes seem to have been designed to only work with
statically defined topic names. I would have to change those core classes, if
I want to set the topic name dynamically from Zookeeper. And I tend to get
smacked around when coming close to core classes :)
Am I missing something? Is there a way to define the topic dynamically
while using the `BulkMessageWriterBolt` & `KafkaMessageWriter` classes
unchanged?
If not, I'd prefer to keep the topic name as a static property defined in
the topology properties, at least for this PR. My second choice would be to
open a completely separate PR to update those core classes to accept dynamic
topic names. It does not seem like a complex change, but those are core
classes and will likely cause some debate.
