Question

I’m trying to use a SimpleMongoBolt from storm-contrib. I downloaded the source, entered the storm-contrib-mongo directory and ran mvn package and mvn install. Everything worked fine and IntelliJ was able to resolve things while coding. When I try to build my project, however, it tries to find a pom for this library on an external repository. When it can’t find it, it fails. What do I need to do to fix this?

SimpleMongoBolt in Storm-Contrib was actually out of date. I updated the module myself and submitted a pull request, which has yet to be merged. Currently you can retrieve the updated code from my Storm-Contrib fork.
