This change was > due to the fact that the Ranger was auditing a lot of false positives > previously. This is partly because the NiFi uses authorization to check which > features the user may have permissions to. This check is used to > enable/disable various parts of the UI. The remainder of the false positives > came from the authorizer not knowing the entire context of the request. For > instance, when a Processor has no policy we check its parent and so on. > The memory leak is due to the authorizer holding onto authorization results > that are never destined for auditing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
