- Added backtype.storm.scheduler.IsolationScheduler. This lets you run topologies that are completely isolated at the machine level. Configure Nimbus to isolate certain topologies, and how many machines to give to each of those topologies, with the isolation.scheduler.machines config in Nimbus's storm.yaml. Topologies run on the cluster that are not listed there will share whatever remaining machines there are on the cluster after machines are allocated to the listed topologies.
- Storm UI now uses nimbus.host to find Nimbus rather than always using localhost (thanks Frostman)
- Added report-error! to Clojure DSL

- Added ISchemableSpout interface
- Bug fix: When an item is consumed off an internal buffer, the entry on the buffer is nulled to allow GC to happen on that data
- Bug fix: Helper class for Trident MapStates now clear their read cache when a new commit happens, preventing updates from spilling over from a failed batch attempt to the next attempt
- Bug fix: Fix NonTransactionalMap to take in an IBackingMap for regular values rather than TransactionalValue (thanks sjoerdmulder)
- Bug fix: Fix NPE when no input fields given for regular Aggregator
- Bug fix: Fix IndexOutOfBoundsExceptions when a bolt for global aggregation had a parallelism greater than 1 (possible with splitting, stateQuerying, and multiReduce)

- Bug fix: Fix Trident bug where multiple groupings on same stream would cause tuples to be duplicated to all consumers
- Bug fix: Fixed error when repartitioning stream twice in a row without any operations in between
- Bug fix: Fix rare bug in supervisor where it would continuously fail to clean up workers because the worker was already partially cleaned up
- Bug fix: Fix emitDirect in storm.py
- Added Trident, the new high-level abstraction for intermixing high throughput, stateful stream processing with low-latency distributed querying
- Added executor abstraction between workers and tasks. Workers = processes, executors = threads that run many tasks from the same spout or bolt.
- Pluggable scheduler (thanks xumingming)
- Eliminate explicit storage of task->component in Zookeeper
- Number of workers can be dynamically changed at runtime through rebalance command and -n switch
- Number of executors for a component can be dynamically changed at runtime through rebalance command and -e switch (multiple -e switches allowed)
- Use worker heartbeats instead of task heartbeats (thanks xumingming)
- UI performance for topologies with many executors/tasks much faster due to optimized usage of Zookeeper (10x improvement)
- Added button to show/hide system stats (e.g., acker component and stream stats) from the Storm UI (thanks xumingming)
- Stats are tracked on a per-executor basis instead of per-task basis
- Major optimization for unreliable spouts and unanchored tuples (will use far less CPU)
- Revamped internals of Storm to use LMAX disruptor for internal queuing. Dramatic reductions in contention and CPU usage.
- Numerous micro-optimizations all throughout the codebase to reduce CPU usage.
- Optimized internals of Storm to use much fewer threads - two fewer threads per spout and one fewer thread per acker.
- Removed error method from task hooks (to be re-added at a later time)
- Validate that subscriptions come from valid components and streams, and if it's a field grouping that the schema is correct (thanks xumingming)
- MemoryTransactionalSpout now works in cluster mode
- Only track errors on a component by component basis to reduce the amount stored in zookeeper (to speed up UI). A side effect of this change is the removal of the task page in the UI.
- Add TOPOLOGY-TICK-TUPLE-FREQ-SECS config to have Storm automatically send "tick" tuples to a bolt's execute method coming from the __system component and __tick stream at the configured frequency. Meant to be used as a component-specific configuration.
- Upgrade Kryo to v2.17
- Tuple is now an interface and is much cleaner. The Clojure DSL helpers have been moved to TupleImpl

- Disallow ":", ".", and "" from topology names
- Errors in multilang subprocesses that go to stderr will be captured and logged to the worker logs (thanks vinodc)
- Workers detect and warn for missing outbound connections from assignment, drop messages for which there's no outbound connection
- Zookeeper connection timeout is now configurable (via storm.zookeeper.connection.timeout config)

- Bug fix: Fix bug where a topology's status would get corrupted to true if nimbus is restarted while status is rebalancing
- Bug fix: Disallow slashes in topology names since it causes Nimbus to break by affecting local filesystem and zookeeper paths
- Bug fix: Prevent slow loading tasks from causing worker timeouts by launching the heartbeat thread before tasks are loaded
- Changed debug level of "Failed message" logging to DEBUG
- Bug fix: Fixed critical regression in 0.7.2 that could cause workers to timeout to the supervisors or to Nimbus. 0.7.2 moved all system tasks to the same thread, so if one took a long time it would block the other critical tasks. Now different system tasks run on different threads.
NOTE: The change from 0.7.0 in which OutputCollector no longer assumes immutable inputs has been reverted to support optimized sending of tuples to colocated tasks
- Messages sent to colocated tasks are sent in-memory, skipping serialization (useful in conjunction with localOrShuffle grouping) (thanks xumingming)

- Bug fix: Fixed critical bug in opaque transactional topologies that would lead to duplicate messages when using pipelining
- Bug fix: Workers will now die properly if a ShellBolt subprocess dies (thanks tomo)
- Bug fix: Hide the BasicOutputCollector#getOutputter method, since it shouldn't be a publicly available method

- Shell bolts can now asynchronously emit/ack messages (thanks tomo)
- Added hooks for when a tuple is emitted, acked, or failed in bolts or spouts.
- Added activate and deactivate lifecycle methods on spouts. Spouts start off deactivated.
- Added isReady method to ITransactionalSpout$Coordinator to give the ability to delay the creation of new batches

- Added localOrShuffle grouping that will send to tasks in the same worker process if possible, or do a shuffle grouping otherwise.
- Removed parameter from TopologyContext#maxTopologyMessageTimeout (simplification).
- Storm now automatically sets TOPOLOGY_NAME in the config passed to the bolts and spouts to the name of the topology.
- Added TOPOLOGY_AUTO_TASK_HOOKS config to automatically add hooks into every spout/bolt for the topology.

- Component-specific configurations: Can now set configurations on a per-spout or per-bolt basis.
- New batch bolt abstraction that simplifies the processing of batches in DRPC or transactional topologies. A new batch bolt is created per batch and they are automatically cleaned up.
- Introduction of base classes for various bolt and spout types. These base classes are in the backtype.storm.topology.base package and provide empty implementations for commonly unused methods
- CoordinatedBolt generalized to handle non-linear topologies. This will make it easy to implement a non-linear DRPC topology abstraction.
- Can customize the JVM options for Storm UI with new ui.childopts config
- BigIntegers are now serializable by default
- All bolts/spouts now emit a system stream (id "__system"). Currently it only emits startup events, but may emit other events in the future.
- Optimized tuple trees for batch processing in DRPC and transactional topologies. Only the coordination tuples are anchored. OutputCollector#fail still works because CoordinatedBolt will propagate the fail to all other tuples in the batch.
- CoordinatedBolt moved to backtype.storm.coordination package
- Clojure test framework significantly more composable
- Massive internal refactorings and simplifications, including changes to the Thrift definition for storm topologies.
- Optimized acking system. Bolts with zero or more than one consumer used to send an additional ack message. Now those are no longer sent.

- Redirect System.out and System.err to log4j
- Added "topology.worker.child.opts" config, for topology-configurable worker options.
- Use Netflix's Curator library for Zookeeper communication. Workers now reconnect to Zookeeper rather than crash when there's a disconnection.
- Bug fix: DRPC server no longer hangs with too many concurrent requests. DPRC server now requires two ports: "drpc.port" and "drpc.invocations.port"
- Bug fix: Multilang resources are now extracted from the relevant jar on the classpath when appropriate. Previously an error would be thrown if the resources/ dir was in a jar in local mode.
- Bug fix: Fix race condition in unit testing where time simulation fails to detect that Storm cluster is waiting due to threads that are not alive
- Bug fix: Fix deadlock in Nimbus that could be triggered by a kill command.
- storm client "activate" and "deactivate" commands
- storm client "rebalance" command
- Nimbus will automatically detect and cleanup corrupt topologies (this would previously give an error of the form "file storm...ser cannot be found").
- "storm" client will not run unless it's being used from a release.
- Topology jar path now passed in using a java property rather than an environment variable.
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is now set on worker processes appropriately.

- Upgraded httpclient, httpcore, and commons-codec dependencies.
- New serialization system based on Kryo
- Component and stream ids are now strings
- Pluggable stream groupings
- Storm now chooses an unused port for Zookeeper in local mode instead of crashing when 2181 was in use.
- Better support for defining topologies in non-JVM languages. The Thrift structure for topologies now allows you to specify components using a Java class name and a list of arguments to that class's constructor.
- Bug fix: errors during the preparation phase of spouts or bolts will be reported to the Storm UI
- Bug fix: Fixed bugs related to LinearDRPC topologies where the last bolt implements FinishedCallback
- Bug fix: String greater than 64K will now serialize properly
