/**
 * 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.
 * <p>
 * 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.
 * @see <a href="https://storm.apache.org/documentation/Serialization.html">Storm serialization</a>
