Github user HeartSaVioR commented on a diff in the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2297#discussion_r136281189 --- Diff: external/storm-kafka/src/jvm/org/apache/storm/kafka/DynamicBrokersReader.java --- @@ -110,7 +110,7 @@ private int getNumPartitions(String topic) { List<String> children = _curator.getChildren().forPath(topicBrokersPath); return children.size(); } catch (Exception e) { - throw new RuntimeException(e); + LOG.error(e.getMessage(), e); --- End diff -- When RuntimeException is propagated to call hierarchy, some place will leave a error message. (it is guaranteed when worker is crashing) Btw, I guess you may need to think and try to answer my questions above by yourself. Please note that core principal of Storm is 'fail-fast', because in many case things are not restorable and retryable, and we had to kill the process to prevent process to go with unexpected behavior.
