Description

Due to the fact that storm is a stream processing framework, it's necessary to explain the handling of streams in a proper documentation chapter. Currently the index at http://storm.apache.org/doc-index.html doesn't even contain the word.

An example of missing infos includes the usage of explicit stream ids and omitting them (e.g. in `BoltDeclarer.xyGrouping`). Question which arise and are not answered: How to declare a stream (object) explicitly? Which one is used when an explicit id is omitted?
