Michael Moser commented on NIFI-3686: ------------------------------------- After manually removing the corrupt swap file, NiFi seems to never forget that it was there. Once I let all flowfiles drain from the system, and restart NiFi, WriteAheadFlowFileRepository continues to believe it has 1 swap file out there. INFO [pool-9-thread-1] org.wali.MinimalLockingWriteAheadLog org.wali.MinimalLockingWriteAheadLog@775429c8 checkpointed with 0 Records and 1 Swap Files in 48 milliseconds (Stop-the-world time = 23 milliseconds, Clear Edit Logs time = 15 millis), max Transaction ID 50011 > EOFException on swap in causes tight loop in polling for flowfiles > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: NIFI-3686 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3686 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core Framework > Affects Versions: 1.1.1 > Reporter: Michael Moser > > If flowfile_repository partition fills 100% while swapping files out to a new > swap file, then this swap file becomes corrupt (partially written).

The processor reading from this queue constantly has its onTrigger() > called, and session.get() polls the queue and gets 0 files returned. This > happens in a tight loop, with no other errors. > To a user it appears that the processor is doing lots of work but just not > processing those 10000 files. The error message above only appears once in > the nifi-app.log, so you don't see anything wrong if you tail the log. > When you restart NiFi, the error message above appears again, but the user > experience of 10000 files not processing remains. > The new SchemaSwapDeserializer does not (and perhaps cannot) implement the > IncompleteSwapFileException that the old SimpleSwapDeserializer does. So, > reading a swap file is currently all-or-nothing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
