This should be of concern mostly to the users of the Storm compatibility layer:
We just received a pull request [1] for updating the Storm compatibility layer to support Storm versions >= 1.0.0. This is a major change because all Storm imports have changed their namespace due to package renaming. If we merged this pull request we would have two modules, one for Storm < 1.0.0 and one for Storm >= 1.0.0. This would require a lot of duplicate work for the Flink community. Thus, I would suggest to remove the Storm compatibility for < 1.0.0 and focus on supporting 1.x.x versions of Storm. What do you think? In particular, how do Storm users think about this?
