Joe Witt commented on NIFI-7114: -------------------------------- [~pkelly.nifi] Looking at your counts they do level off and maybe that is because you stopped starting/stopping generate flow file. However, I cannot imagine this is what led you to think there is a leak and avoid upgrading. Was there more to the story? > NiFi not closing file handles > ----------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-7114 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7114 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Configuration > Affects Versions: 1.10.0, 1.11.0 > Environment: Amazon EC2 running either Amazon Linux 2 or Ubuntu 18.04. > NiFi has been installed with no change to any configuration file. > Reporter: Vinicius Zolin > Priority: Major > Attachments: destination.xml, fifocounts.txt, flow.xml.gz, lsof.log, > lsof.zip, lsofAfter.log, lsofBefore.log, openFiles.xlsx, reproduction.zip, > source.xml > > > Since at least version 1.10 NiFi stopped closing file handles. It opens circa > 500 files per hour (measured using lsof) without any apparent limit until it > crashes due to too many open files. > > Increasing the computer open file limit is not a solution since NiFi will > still crash, it'll only take longer to do so. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
