Github user nickwallen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/pull/453 I think focusing on the one specific error that we've seen is not the right way to think about this. Many different types of errors would cause unexpected looping, no? When unexpected looping occurs, it is very difficult to see and diagnose, right? Considering that, I would suggest adding a simple decrementing TTL counter to avoid unexpected loops.
