> While errors in {{WorkerConnector}} are handled using the {{statusListener.onFailure()}} callback, before the {{WorkerConnector}} is created in {{Worker.startConnector()}} there can be exceptions because of e.g. a bad class name and these are currently not handled, causing the {{Herder}} thread to die.
