On the Storm UI,some time ,the transferred num is not == emitted num.
So,what's the difference between them?

Emitted is the number of times one of the "emit" methods is called on the OutputCollector. Transferred is the number of actual tuples sent to other tasks. For example, if bolt B has 5 tasks and subscribes to bolt A using an "all" grouping, "transferred" will be 5x "emitted" for that stream of bolt A. Similarly, if bolt A emits a stream that no one subscribes to, "transferred" will be 0.
