Hi Mostafa, just a quick thought: When using Storm, you should write code with a multi-node setup in mind. This means, you will not actually know what node your bolt will be effectively running on. Therefore, accessing local files is not a good idea. Instead, you could try using the distributed cache: http://storm.apache.org/releases/1.0.3/distcache-blobstore.html

However, the bolt crashes with a file not found exception. I suspect this is because the file is looked up starting from the project root. Anyone knows how can i read files that are external to the jar file? Thanks
