I wanted to understand how Storm works when one of its worker crashes. SO here is the situation I ran into recently. My topology is distributed across 2 workers with a total of 6 threads. Somehow 3 threads died because one worker went down. At the same time nimbus service was also down because of which it could not spin up threads on other available workers.
I noticed Storm wasn't processing messages for the topology till Nimbus was restored and it spun up the remaining threads that were down. Is this the expected behavior? I was expecting Storm to continue processing messages with 1 half of the threads still up on the other worker. Thanks, Ganesh
