Github user revans2 commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/532#issuecomment-156117703 @HeartSaVioR I am fine either way you want to approach this. I would prefer not to change the protocol in a non-backwards compatible way, and adding a required sync feels like an incompatible change. Having the bolt turn on and off BP feels like a more backwards compatible change to me.
