java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: timeout value is negative - seen in Worker logs

[Binita Bharati]

Hi all,

Am using storm-0.9.0.1.

The following error is seen in the worker logs:

2014-03-25 16:18:24 STDIO [ERROR] Mar 25, 2014 4:18:24 PM

Relevant Netty config from storm.yaml:
 storm.messaging.transport: "backtype.storm.messaging.netty.Context"
 storm.messaging.netty.server_worker_threads: 1
 storm.messaging.netty.client_worker_threads: 1
 storm.messaging.netty.buffer_size: 5242880
 storm.messaging.netty.max_retries: 100
 storm.messaging.netty.max_wait_ms: 1000
 storm.messaging.netty.min_wait_ms: 100

Anyone knows why ?

Thanks
