Thanks for the reply guys. I have looked at kafka-node and it looks reasonable simple to integrate Node with Storm. My original problem was getting the KafkaBolt to work, so i can output the data to Kafka and then use kafka-node to consume the data to the Node app. I have had some help from this mailing list trying to get the KafkaBolt to work but there seems to be a java issue (nothing to with Storm) that i can't get to the bottom of. I am doing this as part of my final year project in college and i am brand new to all these technologies (apart from Java) so it is more than likely something i am doing wrong somewhere. I don't actually need to use Kafka. That just seemed like the best way to connect Storm to the app. I have just taken a quick look at Redis and it seems to be a better way of connecting the two. I will try to get that up and running tomorrow and i will post up how i get on. Thanks again, the advice is much appreciated. Regards,David

I have Stormpulling data from a database on a MySQL Cluster and now I am trying to figure out a way of getting Storm and a Node.js app on a remote VM communicating. I have tried to use a Kafka Topic to store the output from Storm so the app can connect to the topic and gather the data, but i cannot get the KafkaBolt to work as it should. I have tried everything i can think of but no luck. Is there another way of getting Storm to connect to a remote Node.js app? I have searched exhaustively online but cannot find anything. If there are some tutorials i could be pointed to that would be great.Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
