Thanks Doug and Bryan for looking into issue from the UI that I reported.  I 
was not able to replicate it outside our HDF install of Nifi 1.7.1. and Nifi 
Registry 0.3.  I tried to replicate using docker images of Nifi and Nifi 
Registry and everything worked perfectly.  We’ve since decided to stop using 
HDF and move to straight install from Apache distribution.

Thanks, I was able to reproduce now and got the same behavior with revert 
putting the expected values back. Definitely something we want to look into. I 
will probably create another Jira and link it to this one to track these issues 
separately (CLI vs this issue we're discussing).

Doug Kalemba commented on NIFI-5029:


thanks [~bende] for responding.  

perhaps you could add a couple of more steps, to more replicate the issue i was 
seeing...
 # NIFI#1: change a value in either the properties or settings in a processor 
in PGB
 # NIFI#1: commit changes to PGB
 # NIFI#1: commit changes to PGA
 # NIFI#2: change version of PGA to newest version
 # NIFI#2: look for a "Local changes have been made" indication on the PGB.  

I have found that when i do the above, PGB will tell me that it is the new 
version, but i will get the "local changes" message and the values/properties 
that i have changed will be the old ones.  HOWEVER, adding/removing processors 
seems to work fine.  PGB does change version, but the previous versions's 
properties/settings are restored and a "local change" message showing the 
restoring of those values is presented.

[~kalemba] thanks for reporting your issue, this ticket was really about how 
the CLI handles embedded process groups, which that part admittedly doesn't 
work, but from using a single registry with multiple NiFis, I wasn't aware of 
any major issues. Here is a test I just did using two local NiFi instances and 
a single registry, running latest code (1.10.0-SNAPSHOT NiFI and 0.4.0 
registry)...
 # NiFi-1 Create PGA
 # NiFI-1 Create PGB inside PGA
 # NiFI-1 Create some processors inside PGB
 # NIFI-1 Start version control PGB
 # NIFI-1 Start version control PGA
 # NIFI-2 Import a new PG and select PGA v1 (at this point the same exact flow 
is now in both NiFi's)
 # NIFI-1 Go into PGB and add additional processor
 # NIFI-1 Commit changes on PGB
 # NIFI-1 Commit changes on PGA
 # NIFI-2 Change version on PGA from v1 to v2 (caused PGB to be updated to v2 
since PGA v2 points to PGB v2)

This all seemed to work correctly for me.

Is there something different about my steps from what you have done?

What versions of NiFi and NiFi Registry are you using?

Doug Kalemba commented on NIFI-5029:


I would like to offer support for the request made by [~jorjnagz] above.  
Nested versioned flows is not possible at the moment.  My scenario is similar 
to his...

I have PG-A v1 containing PG-B v1 in dev.  I modify PG-B and commit my changes 
to the registry.  It is now v2.  Then I update PG-A to use v2 of PG-B and 
commit that.  PG-A is now v2. 

I then move to the prod env and change PG-A from v1 to v2.  When I look at PG-B 
i see that it is telling me that it is v2, but the v1 items that i changed have 
overwritten the v2 items and the pg is telling me that i now have local 
changes.  Looking at the flow.xml.gz, i see it having 2 for 
PG-B but actually the v1 XML values.

To me, this is a HUGE bug.  It absolutely prevents modularizing the flows and 
cripples the power of the entire Registry feature.

[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-5029) CLI - Handling of embedded versioned process groups during export/import

2019-03-01 Thread George Knaggs (JIRA)


[ 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5029?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16782225#comment-16782225
 ] 

George Knaggs commented on NIFI-5029:
-

I am having similar issue, but in a simpler and perhaps more common use case.  
It happens every time I try to promote changes to next environment with NiFi 
Registry for a versioned flow that itself contains an embedded versioned group. 
 It does not happen if I create a copy of a that same versioned flow on the 
same environment it was created (dev). 

I have a single instance of NiFi Registry that I use to promote changes between 
my  environments.  I am using GIT Repository for flow persistence with NiFi 
Registry.  I am not using CLI, but the NiFi UI to import the versioned flow or 
update version. 

I am able to reproduce the issue if I import on test env the versioned flow 
with the embedded versioned group.  I am also able to reproduce if I import on 
test env a versioned flow w/o any embedded versioned groups, but later add an 
embedded groups to version control on dev env, and then try to change the 
version on test to the latest version of the flow now with an embedded 
versioned group.  

It took me a while to understand what was causing the issue and traced back the 
problem only to a particular flow and only for versions after I added embedded 
groups to version control.

My only choice is to prevent embedded version process groups.  This is a 
completely broken feature and removes the advantage of version control for sub 
flows.  I had hoped to have componitize my reusable sub flows under version 
control so when I fix a bug or expand functionality in these flows, I could 
easily update of the component flow in every full flows that uses it by simply 
changing the version.  Please escalate the resolution of this bug in order to 
use this feature.

I'm actually facing the same error message, but in slightly different context: 
copying flows between two registries.

I've a DEV and PROD registries and wrote a simple script using NiPyApi to 
synchronize flow versions from DEV to PROD. This works perfectly until we add 
embedded process groups to version control:

We have one main process group A, that embed multiple process groups B,C,D... 
all process groups versions being stored in the same bucket. Any NiFi instance 
connected to the DEV registry can successfully import the flows. Then we can 
successfully copy the flows to the PROD registry, but we hit the above error 
when importing the flow initially.

I tried to first first add A to version control with all embedded process 
groups not versioned: we can then successfully import the process after a copy. 
Then I started version control on embedded process groups, successfully synced 
registries, but it does fail with the same error when trying to import the new 
version after the copy.

This is not 100% the case described here (no copy and 2 buckets), but I think 
this is related to same area of code. Let me know if I should create a separate 
improvement requests.

> Key: NIFI-5029
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5029
> Project: Apache NiFi
>  Issue Type: Improvement
>  Components: Flow Versioning, SDLC, Tools and Build
>Reporter: Pierre Villard
>Priority: Major
>
> I'm in a situation where, in my dev environment, I have a versioned process 
> group A in bucket bA containing an embedded process group B from bucket bB. 
> Both A and B are versioned in the NiFi Registry of my dev environment.
> I'm using the CLI to export both A and B from my dev Registry, and then 
> importing A and B in my prod Registry. The issue is that in the json 
> representing A, there is a reference to B containing the url of the dev 
> Registry, the bucket ID and the workflow ID representing B.
> To import B in my prod registry, I first created a bucket bB and a workflow 
> B. New UUIDs have been generated for both in the prod registry. Then I did 
> the import of the JSON representing B.
> Now I manually update the JSON representing A to set the UUIDs related to B 
> with the new values of my prod registry. Then I created a bucket and a 
> workflow for A in my prod registry, and did the import.
> Problem occurs when I try to import the process group A in my prod NiFi. 
> It'll fail with an error looking like this:
> {code:java}
> #> nifi pg-change-version -fv 2 -pgid &1 -u http://localhost:8080
> > Using a positional back-reference for 'A'
> ERROR: Error executing command 'pg-change-version' : Error updating version 
> control information: The Flow Registry with ID 
> 56a49113-0162-1000-0a7e-4959d312d445 reports that no Flow exists with Bucket 
> 9d87ccc4-7084-4069-850a-7704135ea9e9, Flow 
> 7e47aeba-4908-41a6-88d7-e6deb1abef98, Version 2{code}
> I guess there are multiple ways of handling it. It could be on the CLI side 
> or on the Registry side (could be related to NIFIREG-148).
