             Summary: Failed EL date parsing live-locks processors without a 
failure relationship
                 Key: NIFI-5448
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5448
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Framework
            Reporter: David Koster


Processors that utilize the Expression Language need to always present a 
failure relationship.

If a processor with only a success relationship, for example UpdateAttribute, 
utilizes the expression language to perform type coercion to a date and fails, 
the processor will be unable to dispose of the FlowFile and remain blocked 
indefinitely.

Recreation flow:

GenerateFlowFile -> Update Attribute #1 -> Update Attribute #2 -> Anything

Update Attribute #1 - test = "Hello World"

Update Attribute #2 - test = ${test:toDate('yyyy-MM-dd')}

 

Generates an IllegalAttributeException on UpdateAttribute.

 

The behavior should match numerical type coercion and silently skip the 
processing or offer failure relationships on processors supporting EL
