Master Branch:

Storm is a distributed realtime computation system. Similar to how Hadoop provides a set of general primitives for doing batch processing, Storm provides a set of general primitives for doing realtime computation. Storm is simple, can be used with any programming language, is used by many companies, and is a lot of fun to use!

The Rationale page explains what Storm is and why it was built. This presentation is also a good introduction to the project.

Storm has a website at storm.apache.org.

Documentation and tutorials can be found on the Storm website.

Developers and contributors should also take a look at our Developer documentation.

Storm users should send messages and subscribe to user@storm.apache.org.

You can subscribe to this list by sending an email to user-subscribe@storm.apache.org. Likewise, you can cancel a subscription by sending an email to user-unsubscribe@storm.apache.org.

You can also browse the archives of the storm-user mailing list.

Storm developers should send messages and subscribe to dev@storm.apache.org.

You can subscribe to this list by sending an email to dev-subscribe@storm.apache.org. Likewise, you can cancel a subscription by sending an email to dev-unsubscribe@storm.apache.org.

You can also browse the archives of the storm-dev mailing list.

Storm developers who would want to track the JIRA issues should subscribe to issues@storm.apache.org.

You can subscribe to this list by sending an email to issues-subscribe@storm.apache.org. Likewise, you can cancel a subscription by sending an email to issues-unsubscribe@storm.apache.org.

You can view the archives of the mailing list here.

In case you want to raise a bug/feature or propose an idea, please use Apache Jira. If you do not have an account, you need to create one.

If you are using a pre-built binary distribution of Storm, then you should send questions, comments, storm-related announcements, etc. to user@storm.apache.org.

If you are building storm from source, developing new features, or otherwise hacking storm source code, then dev@storm.apache.org is more appropriate.

If you are committers and/or PMCs, or contributors looking for following up and participating development of Storm, then you would want to also subscribe issues@storm.apache.org in addition to dev@storm.apache.org.

All existing messages will remain archived there, and can be accessed/searched here.
