    Hmm, so it looks like `reportError` may create a new entry in the 
`receiverInfo` map if it processes an error from a previously-unknown receiver:
    
    ```scala
     /** Report error sent by a receiver */
      private def reportError(streamId: Int, message: String, error: String) {
        val newReceiverInfo = receiverInfo.get(streamId) match {
          case Some(oldInfo) =>
            oldInfo.copy(lastErrorMessage = message, lastError = error)
          case None =>
            logWarning("No prior receiver info")
            ReceiverInfo(streamId, "", null, false, "", lastErrorMessage = 
message, lastError = error)
        }
        receiverInfo(streamId) = newReceiverInfo
        listenerBus.post(StreamingListenerReceiverError(receiverInfo(streamId)))
        val messageWithError = if (error != null && !error.isEmpty) {
          s"$message - $error"
        } else {
          s"$message"
        }
        logWarning(s"Error reported by receiver for stream $streamId: 
$messageWithError")
      }
    ```
    
    This means that we'll leak `receiverInfo` map entires if we ever receive 
errors after removing receivers.  I don't think that this should ever happen, 
though.  If we're concerned about this, I suppose we could rewrite this method 
to generate the new receiver info, post the new info to the listener bus, then 
store the info in the mapping only if there was an old entry.
