Great!
Just a heads up: This is my first PR for Storm and I just started to learn
Clojure. Please review very carefully. Looking forward to your feedback.
> Add tuple batching
> ------------------
>
> Key: STORM-855
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-855
> Project: Apache Storm
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
> Assignee: Matthias J. Sax
> Priority: Minor
>
> In order to increase Storm's throughput, multiple tuples can be grouped
> together in a batch of tuples (ie, fat-tuple) and transfered from producer to
> consumer at once.
> The initial idea is taken from https://github.com/mjsax/aeolus. However, we
> aim to integrate this feature deep into the system (in contrast to building
> it on top), what has multiple advantages:
> - batching can be even more transparent to the user (eg, no extra
> direct-streams needed to mimic Storm's data distribution patterns)
> - fault-tolerance (anchoring/acking) can be done on a tuple granularity
> (not on a batch granularity, what leads to much more replayed tuples -- and
> result duplicates -- in case of failure)
> The aim is to extend TopologyBuilder interface with an additional parameter
> 'batch_size' to expose this feature to the user. Per default, batching will
> be disabled.
> This batching feature has pure tuple transport purpose, ie, tuple-by-tuple
> processing semantics are preserved. An output batch is assembled at the
> producer and completely disassembled at the consumer. The consumer output can
> be batched again, however, independent of batched or non-batched input. Thus,
> batches can be of different size for each producer-consumer pair.
> Furthermore, consumers can receive batches of different size from different
> producers (including regular non batched input).
