Github user HeartSaVioR commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/365#issuecomment-68330414 @darionyaphet Hello. For spout, it isn't acceptable for reliable data source because during failure it'll lose some tuples. (Actually Redis cannot act as reliable message queue, so I think it isn't good to implement spout for Redis.) For bolt, every bolt should react based on tuple from spout or other bolt, so pub/sub seems not fit this case.
