Looks reasonable to me, but I would like someone more familiar with kafka
to comment on whether we never want to execute on tick tuples.
We could move make the static method in
[TupleHelpers](https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/5a460384f4eb90e4e3870f29090e81633aeafe7b/examples/storm-starter/src/jvm/storm/starter/util/TupleHelpers.java#L29-L30)
a member method in TupleImpl as you have done, remove TupleHelpers, and then
change the example code to use this method.
