Nathan Marz commented on STORM-261:
-----------------------------------
It doesn't suicide if the supervisor is down, but if Nimbus reassigns that
worker. In that case the supervisor would just kill the worker immediately on
startup anyway.
> Workers should commit suicide if not scheduled any more.

> Project: Apache Storm (Incubating)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.9.2-incubating
> Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans
> Priority: Minor

> I know this is a bit far fetched.
> If for some reason a supervisor dies and does not come back up again, dead
> HDD for example, but the workers remain up, and the scheduler decides to move
> the worker to a new host, a rebalance for instance, the old workers will
> never go away. Ideally the worker should know that it is not running in the
> correct place any more and die instead of waiting for the supervisor to kill
> it.
