topology.builtin.metrics.bucket.size.secs

[Ahmed El Rheddane]

Hello,

I have been using Storm for a while now. I retrieve the builtin metrics 
via a Thrift connection (I don't know if there is a better way to do 
so). I regularly fetch the metrics and I can still see changes in the 
values within durations inferior to the default 60 seconds for the 
metrics bucket size. Can anybody help me understand how does Storm use 
the value of topology.builtin.metrics.bucket.size.secs and how 
frequently does it report the stats to Nimbus?

Thanks in advance.

Ahmed
