Interface IContext

All Known Implementing Classes:

Context

public interface IContext

This interface needs to be implemented for messaging plugin. Messaging plugin is specified via Storm config parameter, storm.messaging.transport. A messaging plugin should have a default constructor and implements IContext interface. Upon construction, we will invoke IContext::prepare(storm_conf) to enable context to be configured according to storm configuration.
