Kafka Spout阅读了两次有关Storm Topology的消息

Question

I'm trying to simulate stream traffic using Kafka to Storm. I used KafkaSpout to read a message from one topic sent by a Producer that read these Tweets and send them to a topic. My problem is that after topology consumes all tweet send in this topic it continues to read the message in the topic twice. How can I stop KafkaSpout from reading twice?(replication factor is set to 1)

The configuration looks fine to me.

Maybe the issue is double acking. Make sure you're only acking each tuple once in execute .

As mentioned in a comment, please consider upgrading to a newer Kafka version, as well as switching to storm-kafka-client .

Also something that may make your life a little easier: Consider extending BaseBasicBolt instead of BaseRichBolt . BaseBasicBolt automatically acks the tuple for you if running execute doesn't throw an error. If you want to fail a tuple you can throw FailedException . BaseRichBolt should only be used if you want to do more complicated acking, eg aggregating tuples from many execute invocations in-memory before acking.
