-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Workers should commit suicide if not scheduled any more.
                 Key: STORM-261
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-261
             Project: Apache Storm (Incubating)
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.9.2-incubating
            Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans
            Priority: Minor


I know this is a bit far fetched.

If for some reason a supervisor dies and does not come back up again, dead HDD for example, but the workers remain up, and the scheduler decides to move the worker to a new host, a rebalance for instance, the old workers will never go away.  Ideally the worker should know that it is not running in the correct place any more and die instead of waiting for the supervisor to kill it.
