-----------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
> Clustered Parameter Context update rejects inherited asset-backed Parameter
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-16229
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-16229
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 2.11.0
> Environment: Observed in clustered Apache NiFi 2.11.0 behavior.
> Reproduced using the NiFi system-test framework in a two-node cluster. The
> equivalent standalone system test succeeds.
> Reporter: Sevag Keosseian
> Assignee: Sevag Keosseian
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.12.0
>
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> A Parameter Context update fails in clustered NiFi when an existing child
> Parameter Context is updated to inherit a parent containing an asset-backed
> Parameter.
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Create a parent Parameter Context with a Parameter such as `Key File`.
> 2. Upload an Asset to the parent context and configure `Key File` to
> reference it.
> 3. Create a separate child Parameter Context.
> 4. Update the child to inherit the parent.
> Expected behavior:
> The child inherits the Parameter and can use the Asset owned by the source
> parent context.
> Actual behavior:
> The clustered update fails with an error similar to:
> `Parameter [Key File] is not allowed to reference asset [key.p8] which does
> not belong to parameter context [child-context-id]`
> The initial update calculates the inherited effective Parameter correctly. In
> clustered mode, the enriched DTO is replicated to the nodes and effective
> Parameter updates are calculated a second time. The existing logic infers
> that a Parameter is inherited when it is absent from the incoming DTO.
> Because the first pass inserts the inherited Parameter into the DTO, the
> second pass incorrectly reclassifies it as local. Asset ownership validation
> then rejects the parent-owned Asset as though it were referenced by a locally
> defined child Parameter.
> Standalone NiFi succeeds because the update does not use the replicated
> cluster path.
> The proposed correction is to classify a non-null effective Parameter using
> its source Parameter Context ID rather than DTO membership. A Parameter is
> inherited when its source context differs from the context being updated.
> Existing handling for effective Parameter removals remains unchanged.
> Regression coverage should include both standalone and clustered updates,
> repeated submission of the effective DTO, removal of an inherited asset
> context, and rejection of a genuinely local Parameter referencing an Asset
> owned by another context.
