Storm on slider failing saying unable to start nimbus with socket binding getting closed after few mins.

[Sandeep Samudrala <sa...@gmail.com>]

Hi ,

I have a cluster of machines and I am trying to deploy storm on yarn via
slider. The slider application is submitted and then when slider tires to
start the storm nimbus it fails with the below stack trace.

Slider version is 0.80 and storm version is 0.9.5. The same configs and
setup works on some other cluster of mine. The port is not in use by any
other process. The socket connection happens and then binds for few minutes
and then closes. I could not find anything much int he log. Can some one
let me know what could be the issue?
