ASF GitHub Bot commented on NIFI-5274: -------------------------------------- Github user mosermw commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/2767 Yeah, but there's only 1 other processor in the codebase that does data transformation and does penalize on failure. By far most processors that penalize on failure are ingress/egress processors, where it makes more sense. > ReplaceText can product StackOverflowError which causes admin yield > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-5274 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5274 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Extensions > Affects Versions: 1.6.0 > Reporter: Michael Moser > Assignee: Michael Moser > Priority: Major > > Regex Replace mode can easily produce StackOverflowError. Certain regular > expressions are implemented using recursion, which when used on large input > text can cause StackOverflowError. This causes the ReplaceText processor to > rollback and admin yield, which causes the input flowfile to get stuck in the > input queue. > We should be able to catch this condition and route the flowfile to failure. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
