Github user ottobackwards commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1288 So, my main concern here is the state of stellar _after_ loading in this condition. What happens if you call a function that failed to load? What happens if it is nested in a match or a lambda? Right now, it blows up, but when loaded everything is known to be 'ok'. So this introduces a new state where we are loaded, but things that were supposed to load ( stellar functions introduced to the class path ) have failed. I'm not sure this is that simple. Would we _ever_ for example accept this state in the topology?
