@HeartSaVioR, your understanding about
`StormBoundedExponentialBackoffRetry` is correct, the 29 seconds is decent time
- in case where workerB restarts due to any reason - during regular set-up.
But initial startup ( requires supervisor to read assignments/download
code/launch workers.) which could mean much more than that.
The `StormBoundedExponentialBackoffRetry` lets you go beyond max attempts
to give you 1sec sleep until you succeed. So, the workerA should keep trying
unless nimbus informs workerA that workerB ( is no longer working on that port.)
