"--local" argument is for running the topology in a in-process storm cluster instead of remote cluster. You don't have to start the storm nimbus service etc to run in local mode.
I am trying to deploy the lumify topology to the storm-0.9.2-incubating too. Had to do the same thing to add curator-2.7.0 jars, I also had to add Kryo-2.17 jar to get rid of another NoSuchMethodError. And then I got anoth NoSuchMethodError that I am not able to resolve
17218 [Thread-11-graphProperty-bolt] ERROR backtype.storm.util - Async loop died!

Have you experienced this issue?
I turned on classloading trace, there is only lumify storm jar loading this class. I don't get this error message, any idea?
