Github user merrimanr commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/pull/453 Technically generating an error message and sending it back through the indexing topology should be ok now because the original message is serialized into a string and shouldn't cause another failure. Does the loop problem still exist given this info?
