The `sojourn_time_ms` is calculated from the arrival rate and is an estimate of how many milliseconds each tuple sits in the queue before it is processed. -The queue has a set maximum number of entries. If the regular queue fills up an overflow queue takes over. The number of tuple batches stored in this overflow section are represented by the `overflow` metric. Storm also does some micro batching of tuples for performance/efficiency reasons so you may see the overflow with a very small number in it even if the queue is not full. +The queue has a set maximum number of entries. If the regular queue fills up an overflow queue takes over. The number of tuple batches stored in this overflow section are represented by the `overflow` metric. Review comment: Remove `batches` in `tuple batches` too? If I understand correctly, tuples are inserted to the queue one by one. Maybe add the following: Note that an overflow queue is only used for executors to receive tuples from remote workers. It doesn't apply to intra-worker tuple transfer. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
