             Summary: One topology can't use hdfs spout to read from two locations
                 Key: STORM-1910
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-1910
             Project: Apache Storm
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: storm-hdfs
    Affects Versions: 1.0.1
            Reporter: Raghav Kumar Gautam
             Fix For: 1.1.0


The hdfs uri is passed using config:
{code}
    conf.put(Configs.HDFS_URI, hdfsUri);
{code}
I see two problems with this approach:
1. If someone wants to used two hdfsUri in same or different spouts - then that does not seem feasible.

{code}
    if ( !conf.containsKey(Configs.SOURCE_DIR) ) {
      LOG.error(Configs.SOURCE_DIR + " setting is required");
      throw new RuntimeException(Configs.SOURCE_DIR + " setting is required");
    }
    this.sourceDirPath = new Path( conf.get(Configs.SOURCE_DIR).toString() );
{code}
2. It does not fail fast i.e. at the time of topology submissing. We can fail fast if the hdfs path is invalid or credentials/permissions are not ok. Such errors at this time can only be detected at runtime by looking at the worker logs.
