>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-468
>             Project: Apache Storm
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: storm-core
>    Affects Versions: 0.9.2-incubating
>         Environment: Any
>            Reporter: Jason Kania
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: newbie
>
> The occurrence of the NotSerializableException and how to avoid it should be better documented and the error from the code should be expanded to include some human readable message because it took a lot of searching to find out that the spouts and bolts need to create their variables in the prepare method in order to avoid this problem.
> The error text output could state that this is how to solve the problem.
