Tornado: A Distributed Spatio-Textual Stream Processing System
Summary: Tornado extends Storm with an adaptive spatio-textual indexing layer that dynamically balances processing under shifting data and query distributions. It additionally supports semantic concept matching, deduplication/fusion, and real-time continuous or snapshot queries over Twitter streams. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
