Github user arunmahadevan commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2664 I think if we can shade all the storm-druid dependencies we could probably leave it there. At-least a few of the other storm connectors have not been updated in a while but we still keep it. Similarly we can just mark storm-druid deprecated (and recommend kafka based ingestion) in the README.md or somewhere. By 3.0 timeline, if there are no users we can even consider dropping it.
