Storm 1.1.0+ cannot work at all anyways, see #214. Until we get some fundamental changes in storm we are unlikely to have this project working with anything newer than Storm 1.0.x.

That last comment was added using my other (defunct) github username. This is my normal one.

I am curious exactly what is being attempted here though. I was able to submit my topology on storm 1.1.0 as (partially) documented in #214, but the MesosNimbus could never schedule any supervisors to launch.

So what are you doing with storm-mesos that leads to this failure? How are you "submitting in local mode"?
