That wouldn't really work. First of all we don't have Nimbus HA yet, so whichever colo you put nimbus in would be a single point of failure. Even after nimbus HA all the state is stored in ZK, which uses a quorum to be functional, so whichever colo had the most ZK nodes in it would be the single point of failure. If we are doing a true lambda architecture we often don't have a BCP for storm, as it can be down for a while and the batch will stop over the results. If we are doing more of a kappa architecture it varies by the need. But in those cases we will either run hot-hot and pick the result with the most complete data, or hot-warm and use something else to trigger the failover. - Bobby

Or is there another recommended deployment topology for DR scenarios? Regards Rama
