Architectural advice: MQTT [newbie]

[deadbrain <je...@javaxpert.com>]

Hi all,

I am very new to Storm and I am about building my own docker environment 
for my first tries.

In my project I would need to connect Mosquitto broker to Storm (with 
MQTT Spout I guess)

In my docker env I want to have load balancing & HA so I will add a load 
balancer above the Mosquitto brokers.

My question is : am I obliged to have multiple spout to fetch messages 
from brokers (one per physical broker), or is it possible to define a 
single SPOUT (with a list of brokers). In the first case is there a risk 
to have messages duplicated ? Is there some good practices in such case ?


Kind regards

Jerome
