| <p>Simulator mode is specifically designed for topology developers to easily debug or optimize their |
| topologies.</p> |
| <p>Simulator mode simulates a heron cluster in a single JVM process, which is useful for developing and |
| testing topologies. Running topologies under simulator mode is similar to running topologies on a |
| cluster.</p> |

| <p>To run in simulator mode, use the <code>SimulatorMode</code> class, which is |
| in <code>storm-compatibility-unshaded_deploy.jar</code> (under <code>bazel-bin/storm-compatibility/v0.10.2/src/java</code>).</p> |
| <p>For example:</p> |
| <pre><code class="hljs css language-java"><span class="hljs-keyword">import</span> org.apache.heron.simulator.Simulator; |
| Simulator simulator = <span class="hljs-keyword">new</span> Simulator(); |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>You can then submit topologies using the <code>submitTopology</code> method on the <code>Simulator</code> object. Just |
| like the corresponding method on <code>StormSubmitter</code>, <code>submitTopology</code> takes a name, a topology |
| configuration, and a topology object.</p> |
| <p>For example:</p> |
| <pre><code class="hljs css language-java">simulator.submitTopology(<span class="hljs-string">"test"</span>, conf, builder.createTopology()); |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>Other lifecycle methods to use with simulator mode are:</p> |
| <pre><code class="hljs css language-java">simulator.killTopology(<span class="hljs-string">"test"</span>); |
| simulator.activate(<span class="hljs-string">"test"</span>); |
| simulator.deactivate(<span class="hljs-string">"test"</span>); |
| simulator.shutdown(); |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>To kill a topology, one could also terminate the process.</p> |
| <p>The simulator mode will run in separate threads other than the main thread. All the above methods are |
| thread-safe. This means that one could invoke these methods in other threads and monitor the |
| corresponding behaviors interactively.</p> |

| <p>Bolts and Spouts run as separate threads in simulator. To add breakpoints inside a bolt/spout, the |
| Suspend Policy of the breakpoint needs to be set to Thread. To change the Suspend Policy, right |
