nsqd pod exited as 'completed' triggering app health check failures

[vdice]

Deis' own champagne cluster was affected by the nsqd pod exiting w/ Completed status, seemingly triggering errors in both the registry and workflow-manager pods. (The alerts leading us to investigate were health check failures on the k8s-claimer app deployed on this cluster.)

Here is the log tail from said pod:

Log tail from registry pod, unhelpful besides timestamps:

Note: Interestingly, unless there is some time skew at play, the last log from registry is at 21:23:20 whereas the nsqd timestamp is a bit later at 21:25:51 -- so it may indeed be a registry issue...
