    This is called from TopologySpoutLag using ShellUtils to display the 
results in UI. It is expected that KafkaOffsetLagUtil will always exit with 
code 0, unless there is a command line options error. TopologySpout guarantees 
that it will never call with wrong command line arguments. For any other 
runtime errors it will still exit with code 0, printing out the error condition 
on System.out. Reason is we want the error message to be displayed in UI. That 
is why there is a catch all block in the main method. If exit code is not 0, 
ShellUtils will throw an exception and there will be no meaningful message 
printed on storm UI. Instead of exiting here, can you throw an exception with a 
message like "zk node does not exist" and let the main method catch it. If you 
want to test out what I mentioned you can build a quick topology with kafka 
spout and look at storm ui.
