max parallelism values

[pradeep s]

Hi,
I am running a 5 worker node storm cluster on ec2 m4.2x large machines.
Each machine is having 8 cores . I have a spout which is consuming from SQS
and two bolts ,one to S3 and another to a database .
What will be the maximum parallelism value i can assign for Spout and Bolt.
Since i have 8*5= 40 cores in total, is 40 the max parallelism i can give
for spout and bolt .
Also if i assign 40 parallelism hint for spout, will the bolt parallelism
value can be the same?
Regards
