Github user revans2 commented on a diff in the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/871#discussion_r44673758 --- Diff: external/storm-hive/src/main/java/org/apache/storm/hive/bolt/HiveBolt.java --- @@ -134,22 +131,16 @@ public void execute(Tuple tuple) { collector.ack(t); tupleBatch.clear(); } + } catch(SerializationError se) { + LOG.info("Serialization exception occurred, tuple is acknowledged but not written to Hive.", tuple); + collector.ack(tuple); --- End diff -- I am fine with it how the code is, like I said my comments were all minor. I was just thinking that if there are issues with the serialization I as a user am not going to be looking at the logs for errors, I am going to be looking at metrics, like failed tuples. Perhaps we could have a follow on JIRA to add an IMetric for the number of tuples lost because of serialization errors.
