Yes, ShellSpout/Bolt read stderr from subprocess after sending tuple
immediately.
I'm afraid that this may cannot cover all cases, and ShellBolt could read
stderr message after sending "next" tuple if PythonBolt doesn't write stderr
immediately.
Please remember ShellBolt has no "sync". It just send a message and forget,
and doesn't wait for
PythonBolt if it has any stderr message regarding that tuple.
Btw, it's not related to current PR. It's just my 2 cents, so take your
time.

> Project: Apache Storm
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.9.3
> Reporter: DashengJu
>
> In ShellBolt, the _readerThread read command from python/shell process, and
> handle like this:
> try {
> ShellMsg shellMsg = _process.readShellMsg();
> ...
> } catch (InterruptedException e) {
> } catch (Throwable t) {
> die(t);
> }
> And in the die function, getProcessTerminationInfoString will read
> getErrorsString() from processErrorStream.
> private void die(Throwable exception) {
>
> String processInfo = _process.getProcessInfoString() +
> _process.getProcessTerminationInfoString();
>
> _exception = new RuntimeException(processInfo, exception);
>
> }
> so when ShellBolt got exception(for example, readShellMsg() throw NPE ) ,
> but it is not an error from sub process, then
> getProcessTerminationInfoString will be hang because processErrorStream have
> no data to read.
> On the other hand, as [~xiaokang] says ShellBolt should fail fast on
> exception ( https://github.com/apache/incubator-storm/pull/46 ) , I think it
> is not a good idea to read error info from stream.
> Because [~xiaokang] 's PR is based old version, so I will move his code to
> this PR, and modify some other place in ShellSpout.
