It would be useful in certain cases to be able to deactivate a topology (stop receiving messages from the spout) while some maintenance task is being done. Once the task is done, you'd want to then reactivate the topology. This is easier than shutting down the topology and resubmitting it. The storm client should implement "activate" and "deactivate" commands.
