Github user Ethanlm commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2290 Tested it manually. 1. Create a blob `key1` with ACL set to `u:mapredqa:rwa`. 2. Submit a topology as `ethan` with `-c topology.blobstore.map='{"key1":{"localname":"test-blob.txt", "uncompress":false}}'`. 3. Check the supervisor.log: `[ethan] does not have access no key1`. And the slot changed to `EMPTY` state. The supervisor didn't crash.  4. Later, set the blob `key1` ACL with command `set-acl -s u:ethan:rwa key1` 5. Check the supervisor.log. The workers started running. Also checked with worker.log which showed normal outputs.
