ASF GitHub Bot commented on STORM-512: -------------------------------------- Github user d2r commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/275#issuecomment-60838468 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. > KafkaBolt doesn't handle ticks properly > --------------------------------------- > > Key: STORM-512 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-512 > Project: Apache Storm > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Niels Basjes > > I found that when using the KafkaBolt the tick tuples are not handled > properly. They should be ignored and the reality is that they are not. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
