Thanks for the follow-up, @tedxia.
It looks as if I was able to report progress. My conversation with
@clockfly earlier today was very helpful in this regard -- thanks, Sean!
I have refactored/rewritten our Netty Client code (`Client.java`). The
first experiments using this new code are positive: The upstream bolts do not
die anymore if the downstream bolts die (cf. my test scenario / test topology
above), and as soon as the downstream bolts return back to life they will
receive and process new input tuples.
I'll have to do some follow-up work on the code -- there is at least one
piece of it that I do not like because it's more of a hack -- as well as
perform additional tests next week, of course. By then I should also be able
to share the test topology I was referring to above so that you guys can
reproduce the same test/failure setup.
