Core Storm Example: RollingTopWords Topology

The RollingTopWords.java is included with storm-starter.

/**
* This topology does a continuous computation of the top N words that the topology has seen in terms of cardinality.
* The top N computation is done in a completely scalable way, and a similar approach could be used to compute things
* like trending topics or trending images on Twitter.
