Github user srdo commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2363 @revans2 Thanks. I opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2809. When I have some time I'll probably look at this too, to see if I can figure out what's going on. Regarding the 3 minutes of doing nothing, the tests also kill the topologies if nothing gets emitted within 180 seconds, so I'm not sure if the supervisor timeout is related. I'll poke at it some more.
