Hi, For spouts to be able to continuously send a fields grouped tuple to the same bolt, it would have to store a key value map something like this, right?
field1023 ---> Bolt1 field1343 ---> Bolt3 field1629 ---> Bolt5 field1726 ---> Bolt1 field1481 ---> Bolt3 So if my topology runs for a very long time and the spout generates many unique field values, won't this key value map run out of memory eventually? OR is there a failsafe or a map limit that Storm has to handle this without crashing? If memory problems could happen, what would be an alternative way to solve this problem where many unique fields could get generated over time? -- Regards, Navin
