Github user ottobackwards commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1099 @justinleet the main things I saw that I would think of cutting down, or I though about looking into ( the idea may turn out to be bad ) are places where the bolt 'knows' a lot of weird or complicated initialization logic around the configurations or classes it uses, like what we do initializing Stellar, or in getComponentConfiguration. I'm ok with a follow on, I don't think this PR is creating that issue.
