All - Just to clarify - as far as I know, Storm code is used only at two places - for ensuring API compatibility (a thin wrapper on the underlying Heron API) and for implementation of Window functions (with modifications). Rest of the code were original contributions from people at Twitter/Streamlio/Microsoft/Google/Fitbit/Wanda Group and other companies.
When a new contributor contributes code, he/she has to accept an CLA available at https://legal.twitter.com/contributor-license-agreement.html cheers /karthik On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 1:41 AM, Bertrand Delacretaz < bdelacre...@codeconsult.ch> wrote: > Hi, > > On Fri, Sep 15, 2017 at 6:28 PM, John D.
