             Summary: Wrong config types submitted with topologies can bring nimbus down
                 Key: STORM-181
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-181
             Project: Apache Storm (Incubating)
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Derek Dagit


If a user submits a topology with a config that does not match its schema (e.g., String "2" vs Number 2), nimbus will accept the topology but can fail with ClassCastException when it attempts to access the config.

The exception to this is when the config is read from a file on the client side.  In that case the configuration is validated.  But if the configuration is set in the code or passed on the command line with -c, it will not be validated.

We should validate the configurations in nimbus when the topology is submitted.
