Tuple (Storm 2.7.1 API)

All Superinterfaces:

ITuple

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClojureTuple, TupleImpl
```
public interface Tuple
extends ITuple
```
The tuple is the main data structure in Storm. A tuple is a named list of values, where each value can be any type. Tuples are dynamically typed -- the types of the fields do not need to be declared. Tuples have helper methods like getInteger and getString to get field values without having to cast the result.
Storm needs to know how to serialize all the values in a tuple. By default, Storm knows how to serialize the primitive types, strings, and byte arrays. If you want to use another type, you'll need to implement and register a serializer for that type.
