It seems there is some error in initializing the bolts or spouts and it may be occasional if the error is something like error in connecting to an external service or database during bolt prepare method. So, you need to look into the supervisor.log for exact error detail when topology does not pick up. You can try manually running the worker command which would be used by supervisor to launch the workers. Most of the times this method helps in locating the exact error.
