Re: Null pointer exception in Storm - using shell bolt

Hi Jeremy, Thanks for your reply. From the details of the issue, it seems more related to a hang in the Shell bolt. That is not the exact same symptom as what we observed. Specifically we did not see a hang, but a NullPointerException in the log. Please let me know if you think they are related.
