@clockfly , when worker A not get notified that worker B is not alive, the
connection from A to B should abort, but not throw RuntimeException, because
will cause the worker A exit even if the connection between worker A and other
worker are normal. There are many factors that cause nimbus not inform worker A
that worker B died, such as heavy load of zookeeper, failure of nimbus and so
on. For those reason even if network partition, I still don't think it is a
good idea for worker A exit, fault tolerance is too high a price to pay.
