We're in the process of upgrading from Storm 0.9.5 to 1.0.2. We're also upgrading to Kafka 0.10.0.1.
We've been having issues with topologies that fail tuples. The Kafka offsets seemed to get stuck and the Kafka spout eventually halted even though the last committed offset was no where near the end of the topic. My co-worker Jeff isolated the problem to toe storm-kafka-client and has covered the scenarios with unit tests (and a proposed fix). Details in his pull request. Would be grateful if we could hear whether others are having similar issues / have input on our proposed fix. https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1679 Thanks James
