Github user nickwallen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1035 I have a [theory as to why this is happening](https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1045#issuecomment-394033676) that should be fixed thanks to #1045. That being said, I am not sure that we need a `storm kill <topology> -w 0`. I think that is just a work around for the problem. Also, I'm not sure that just using `-w 0` really helps kill a misbehaving topology, but I could be wrong on that point.
