@roshannaik setting `topology.eventlogger.executors: 0` completely disables
event logging by default (i.e. no threads are started to handle event logging).
If someone tries to turn on event logging in the topology, they wont see any
events logged and this is a very confusing behavior in my opinion. It makes
them think that this functionality is totally broken or something is wrong with
their topology.
The event logging happens only when they enable it and we don't expect them
to turn it on all the time. The actual overhead otherwise is [to check if a few
flags are turned
on](https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/1.x-branch/storm-core/src/clj/org/apache/storm/daemon/executor.clj#L480).
Can you post more details on the topology you ran and the results you
observed when you set topology.eventlogger.executors to 0 vs setting it to
`nil` ?
