Github user revans2 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1767 @sathyafmt sorry I have taken so long to respond December was a really crazy month for me. From STORM-2194 I see that the SocketTimeoutException goes through the code being changed. The RMI code does not go through that path at all. ``` 2016-12-01 04:24:41.721 STDERR [INFO] Error: Exception thrown by the agent : java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already in use: 56700; nested exception is: 2016-12-01 04:24:41.722 STDERR [INFO] java.net.BindException: Address already in use ``` If it did then we would have exited because BindException and ExportException are neither InterruptedIOException nor InterruptedException. So this patch, nor the one I proposed would have any impact on the RMI case at all. Something else is catching the ExportException and printing to STDERR the error message above.
