Hi all, We've been testing Storm for a while and have been happy so far, but this error seems a bit unknown and concerning. One of our topologies somehow came across this error during testing with nothing really changed, so I have no clue how to debug it. And it seems an transient error, as the topology somehow recovered itself after running for a while.
The storm version is 0.9.1 running with most of default settings. One thing I noticed suspicious was the warning message of "Received invalid messages for unknown tasks. Dropping... ". Not sure if it was related and if anyone has idea? Here is the full stack trace of the error (that doesn't seem useful): java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Tuple created with wrong number of fields.
