> We're using 0.9.3-rc1. Most probably this wrong behavior was introduced as a 
> side efffect for STORM-409. When I kill a worker, another worker starts to 
> print messages like:
> {noformat}
> 2014-10-20 11:45:03 b.s.m.n.Client [INFO] Reconnect started for 
> Netty-Client-<HOST>:4706... [0]
> 2014-10-20 11:45:03 b.s.m.n.Client [INFO] Reconnect started for 
> Netty-Client-<HOST>:4706... [1]
> 2014-10-20 11:45:03 b.s.m.n.Client [INFO] Reconnect started for 
> Netty-Client-<HOST>:4706... [2]
> ..... so on
> {noformat}
> Then it reaches default 300 max_retries and starts the cycle again:
> {noformat}
> 2014-10-20 11:54:38 b.s.m.n.Client [INFO] connection established to a remote 
> host Netty-Client-<HOST>:4706, [id: 
> 0xec088412, /<HOST>:39795 :> <HOST>:4706]
> 2014-10-20 11:54:38 b.s.m.n.Client [INFO] Reconnect started for 
> Netty-Client-<HOST>:4706... [0]
> 2014-10-20 11:54:38 b.s.m.n.Client [INFO] Reconnect started for 
> Netty-Client-<HOST>:4706... [1]
> 2014-10-20 11:54:38 b.s.m.n.Client [INFO] Reconnect started for 
> Netty-Client-<HOST>:4706... [2]
> {noformat}
> And so on infinitely... 
> An issue most probably is in backtype.storm.messaging.netty.Client#connect 
> method in following place which determines that we give up on reconnection:
> {code}
> if (null != channel) {
>     LOG.info("connection established to a remote host " + name() + ", " + 
> channel.toString());
>     channelRef.set(channel);
> } else {
>     close();
>     throw new RuntimeException("Remote address is not reachable. We will 
> close this client " + name());
> }
> {code}
> I guess (not tried yet), that _channel_ object is not _null_ if this is a 
> real reconnection. So the method return a _channel_ object and then 
> reconnection starts again and again.
> This might be fixed by adding explicity *current = null;* into following code 
> block of the same method:
> {code}
> if (!future.isSuccess()) {
>     if (null != current) {
>         current.close();
>     }
> }
> {code}
