Github user revans2 commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/699#issuecomment-135152145 The changes look fine to me. +1 @harshach we did a similar thing for the HDFS Bolt. https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/ffb1562cb0eb3fbd916423136fcd3c181fbf6212/external/storm-hdfs/src/main/java/org/apache/storm/hdfs/bolt/HdfsBolt.java#L53-L56 Each bolt needs to be able to be configured independently of all other bolts. Putting it in the conf is a is one way to do it, but I have seen a lot of bolts do it through a setter too. I personally would prefer to support both through a config and through an API. The only trick is with consistency and ordering in the case of conflicts.
