Github user joewitt commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/2297 can definitely appreciate the intent of this patch but I suspect we'll need to handle this differently. Once an OOME has happened the JVM might still function well but things can be unpredictable/unreliable. Rather than catching such a thing and warning the user we should instead prevent data of a certain size from being retrieved via this mechanism.
