I needed to change the number of supervisor.slots.port=[6700, 6701, 6702, 6703, 6704] to 5 ports and also the number of workers available to a single topology by topology.workers=5.
Also these changes I have made as per the suggestion in storm documentation to change the config file called "storm.yaml".Now the trouble I am facing is when I try to restart the Storm UI Service using the command "./storm ui", it is unable to completely execute it and gets stuck. On the other hand, if I try to do the same under Ambari Services tab, I am able to start Storm UI but then it overwrites my "storm.yaml" and it then deaults to supervisor.slots.port=[6700, 6701] and topology.workers=1 My Storm Version is: 0.9.1.2.1.1.0-385
I am not sure how to fix that now and I am trying to find if someone has solved this issue.
If you have Ambari installed and can see the Storm service listed, then you can just manage storm there and Ambari will set the configuration (as you've seen) for you.
Go to Ambari -> Storm -> Configs, change the config (look for supervisor.slots.ports), save and restart components.
