Github user HeartSaVioR commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1479 @darionyaphet Instead of having `exists` as datatype, we can have a flag that indicates checking only availability. It can be optimized for STRING and HASH type with exists and hexists, and also available anyway for other types (lookup and simply check that whether it's not null or null). Or we even have new filter Bolt that filters tuples by availability. Might be more clearer. @darionyaphet @abhishekagarwal87 What do you think?
