Hi everybody,
I'm trying to have sent tick tuples to a bolt I have.

In the bolt I have these methods
def execute(tuple: Tuple){
isTickTuple(tuple) match {
      case true =>
        println("TICK TUPLE FOUND")
      case false =>
        println("regular TUPLE FOUND")
}
}

  override def getComponentConfiguration(): java.util.Map[String,AnyRef] = {
    val conf = new Config()
    val tickFrequencyInSeconds = sendPeriodMs * 1000
    conf.put(Config.TOPOLOGY_TICK_TUPLE_FREQ_SECS, 
Long.box(tickFrequencyInSeconds))
    conf
}

def isTickTuple(tuple:Tuple):Boolean = {
    tuple.getSourceComponent().equals(Constants.SYSTEM_COMPONENT_ID) &&
      tuple.getSourceStreamId().equals(Constants.SYSTEM_TICK_STREAM_ID)
}

The code never prints "TICK TUPLE FOUND" but in the log I do see that a tick 
tuple was received
  executor [INFO] Processing received message source: __system:-1, stream: 
__tick, id: {}, [30]

Why can't I find these tick tuples when running, but they appear in the log? Do 
tick tuples  have some special logic which makes them transparent to the bolt?
I use storm 0.8.X

-Adrian
