ASF GitHub Bot commented on NIFI-3332: -------------------------------------- Github user jskora commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/1975 @ijokarumawak @bbende Sorry I haven't kept up with this recently. I'm happy to say that I was able to do some preliminary testing and this appears to solve the problem! **_Thanks!_** 🥇 > Bug in ListXXX causes matching timestamps to be ignored on later runs > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-3332 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3332 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core Framework > Affects Versions: 0.7.1, 1.1.1 > Reporter: Joe Skora > Assignee: Koji Kawamura > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.4.0 > > Attachments: listfiles.png, Test-showing-ListFile-timestamp-bug.log, > Test-showing-ListFile-timestamp-bug.patch > > > The new state implementation for the ListXXX processors based on > AbstractListProcessor creates a race conditions when processor runs occur > while a batch of files is being written with the same timestamp. > The changes to state management dropped tracking of the files processed for a > given timestamp. Without the record of files processed, the remainder of the > batch is ignored on the next processor run since their timestamp is not > greater than the one timestamp stored in processor state. With the file > tracking it was possible to process files that matched the timestamp exactly > and exclude the previously processed files. > A basic time goes as follows. > T0 - system creates or receives batch of files with Tx timestamp where Tx > is more than the current timestamp in processor state. > T1 - system writes 1st half of Tx batch to the ListFile source directory. > T2 - ListFile runs picking up 1st half of Tx batch and stores Tx timestamp > in processor state. > T3 - system writes 2nd half of Tx batch to ListFile source directory. > T4 - ListFile runs ignoring any files with T <= Tx, eliminating 2nd half Tx > timestamp batch. > I've attached a patch[1] for TestListFile.java that adds an instrumented unit > test demonstrates the problem and a log[2] of the output from one such run. > The test writes 3 files each in two batches with processor runs after each > batch. Batch 2 writes files with timestamps older than, equal to, and newer > than the timestamp stored when batch 1 was processed, but only the newer file > is picked up. The older file is correctly ignored but file with the matchin > timestamp file should have been processed. > [1] Test-showing-ListFile-timestamp-bug.patch > [2] Test-showing-ListFile-timestamp-bug.log -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
