Hi, I think the possibility to use a Configuration object is a legacy from the past where the API was a bit closer to how Hadoop works. In my opinion this is not necessary anymore since User Code objects can just contain configuration settings in fields.
The feature for the Storm API could probably be implemented by just storing a Configuration object in the user code function. Regards, Aljoscha On Sun, 6 Sep 2015 at 18:29 Matthias J.
