Github user bbende commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/1879 Reviewing... there are two places in HortonworksSchemaRegistry where client.getSchemaVersionInfo is called without attempting to use the cache stored in the controller service and ends up failing if the schema registry is down, even though the SchemaVersionInfo should be in the local cache: ``` ExecutionException: javax.ws.rs.ProcessingException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused java.lang.RuntimeException: com.google.common.util.concurrent.UncheckedExecutionException: javax.ws.rs.ProcessingException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused at com.hortonworks.registries.schemaregistry.client.SchemaRegistryClient.getSchemaVersionInfo(SchemaRegistryClient.java:470) at org.apache.nifi.schemaregistry.hortonworks.HortonworksSchemaRegistry.retrieveSchema(HortonworksSchemaRegistry.java:271) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at org.apache.nifi.controller.service.StandardControllerServiceInvocationHandler.invoke(StandardControllerServiceInvocationHandler.java:89) at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy76.retrieveSchema(Unknown Source) at org.apache.nifi.schema.access.HortonworksEncodedSchemaReferenceStrategy.getSchema(HortonworksEncodedSchemaReferenceStrategy.java:69) at org.apache.nifi.serialization.SchemaRegistryService.getSchema(SchemaRegistryService.java:112) ```
