Mark Bean updated NIFI-7231: ---------------------------- Description: NiFi will not enable all controller services during startup when there are additional referenced controller services within a controller service. Specifically, this was observed when the referenced controller services were dynamic properties. The enabling process correctly enables referenced services first. However, during the enabling process, all referencing components are validated. This creates a situation where the parent controller service is repeatedly validated for every child controller service. And, part of the validation of the parent is to validate the child. The circular validation will eventually block; controller services are not properly enabled; NiFi does not complete the startup process. was: NiFi will not enable all controller services during startup when there are additional referenced controller services within a controller service. Specifically, this was observed when the referenced controller services were dynamic properties. The enabling process correctly enables referenced services first.

This creates a situation where the parent controller service is repeatedly validated for every child controller service. And, part of the validation of the parent is to validate the child. The circular validation will eventually block; controller services are not properly enabled; NiFi does not complete the startup process. The fix is to not validate the parent controller services unless or until all child controller services are enabled. Any child service which is not enabled (regardless of validation) will cause the parent to be invalid. Repeated validation is not required. > NiFi fails to start due to blocking controller service validation > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-7231 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7231 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core Framework > Affects Versions: 1.10.0 > Reporter: Mark Bean > Assignee: Mark Bean > Priority: Major > > NiFi will not enable all controller services during startup when there are > additional referenced controller services within a controller service. > Specifically, this was observed when the referenced controller services were > dynamic properties. > The enabling process correctly enables referenced services first.
