Robert Joseph Evans commented on STORM-1202:
--------------------------------------------
OK so a shim layer is not going to work. To make it happen I would have to
modify the generated thrift code, which really is a non-starter, but thinking
about this I think I have a way to still do it. I should be able to borrow
code from the maven shade plugin, and shade the submitted jar to translate
backtype.storm -> org.apache.storm and storm.trident ->
org.apache.storm.trident. This code would exist in a separate jar and would be
a plugin that could be configured on for those that want it, and off for those
that don't. That way we have a way to support backwards compatibility but can
be turned off when you know everyone has upgraded.
> Migrate APIs to org.apache.storm, but try to provide backwards compatability
