tuples

[Luke Forehand <lu...@networkedinsights.com>]

Quick question, when a worker dies, while the supervisor is waiting for the timeout before re-launching the worker, what do upstream bolts do with the tuples they are attempting to send downstream?  Are they kept in a buffer until the downstream worker is alive again or do they get sent into the ether?
