Hi, Every time I see a thread like this ( http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/storm-user/201411.mbox/browser), it pains me. I have written code to be able to create a topology from json and execute it, but I am not allowed to share it. So far I have resisted the temptation to reproduce it in my own time because I don't have much free time, and because rewriting something isn't always the most fun thing to do. However, if enough people would use it, I would be more inclined to invest the time.
So, two questions: 1) would you use this? 2) what features would you like to see (in addition to below)? Proposed features: a) pojo topology representation: leave choice of json or xml library up to the user b) support of all groupings, streams, via reflections c) ability to specify configuration map via config file d) reification of spout / bolt / dependency arguments e) recursive iteration of d) for construction of complex types
