Recently, we upgraded our storm version from 0.10 to 1.1.0 but while deploying topology with the upgraded client, it was failing with -
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at org.apache.storm.hack.shade.org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.<init>(Unknown Source)

Issue came out to be related to dependency conflicts between asm and guice over Java8. Excluding all guice dependencies which were coming from a dependent jar but wasn't actually used in storm project helped resolve this issue.
To be on safer side, I also cross-checked in my project that I do not have any other asm dependency except one coming from storm-core.
I spent more than a day to come to this resolution, hope this could be of help to someone :)
