Hey, I've been facing the same issues in my topologies. It seems like a crash in a single worker would trigger a reconnect from other workers for x amount of time (30 x 10s = ~300 seconds in your case) before crashing themselves - thus leading to a catastrophic failure in the topology.
There is a patch in 0.9.3 related to exponential backoff for netty connections - which may address the issue - but until then I did two things - a) increase the max_wait_ms to 15000 and b) decrease supervisor.worker.start.timeout.secs to 30 - so that workers restart earlier.
