Rick Kellogg updated STORM-164:

    Component/s: storm-core

> Split Storm into multiple modules

>                 Key: STORM-164
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-164
>             Project: Apache Storm
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: storm-core
>            Reporter: James Xu

> The preliminary work of making Storm a multimodule setup has been done (currently pretty much everything is in storm-core). The new setup is a drop-in replacement for the old setup, so the same maven artifact names still work and have the same semantics.
> We have the flexibility to split Storm into smaller modules that can be included / excluded as desired by users. This makes it easier to control dependencies. Here's my current list of modules to create:
> storm-ui
> storm-linear-drpc
> storm-drpc-server
> storm-transactional-topology
> storm-trident
> storm-zmq-messaging
> storm-client (bin/storm and related java/clojure files)
> Please comment with additional modules you think Storm should be broken up into.
> ----------
> mrflip: When you do this surgery, is it reasonable to do away with the backtype. prefix, and normalize everything onto storm. and trident. (or storm.core and storm.trident) namespaces?
> Watching other folks learn the codebase (self included), it's a hurdle to keep track of where in {clj,jvm}/{backtype/storm,storm/trident} everything is.
> ----------
> nathanmarz: That would be backwards incompatible. I'd be for that change, but as part of a future major release and independent from this issue.
> ----------
> mrflip: sounds good, and prudent. Thanks for considering it.
