I’m not clear on how much data you are processing, does the data(.dat) file have 3,00,000 rows?

Mark, Thanks for the response. My Sample input data(.dat) like below.., 1|2|3|4 6|7|8|9 11|12|13|14 In Extract Text,i have add input row only with addition of default properties like below screenshot. [Inline image 1] In Replace text , just replace value like {"data1":"${inputrow.1}","data2":"${inputrow.2}","data3":"${inputrow.3}","data4":"${inputrow.4}"} [Inline image 2] Here there is no bulletins indicates back pressure on processors. Can i know prerequisites needed for move the 3,00,000 data into sql server in duration 10-20 minutes? What are the number of CPU' s needed? How much heap size and perm gen size we need to set for move that data into sql server?

Given that you have only a single core, I don't think multiple concurrent tasks will help you. Can you share your configuration for ExtractText and ReplaceText? Depending on the regex'es being used, they can be extremely expensive to evaluate. The regex that you mentioned in the other email - "(.+)[|](.+)[|](.+)[|](.+)" is in fact extremely expensive. Any time that you have ".*" or ".+" in your regex, it is going to be extremely expensive, especially with longer FlowFile content. Also, do you see any bulletins indicating that the provenance repository is applying backpressure? Given that you are splitting your FlowFiles into individual lines, the provenance repository may be under a lot of pressure. Another thing to check, is how much garbage collection is occurring. This can certainly destroy your performance quickly. You can get this information by going to the "Summary Table" in the top-right of the UI and then clicking the "System Diagnostics" link in the bottom-right corner of that Summary Table.

Please find the response for your questions. ==>The first processor that you see that exhibits poor performance is ExtractText, correct? Yes,Extract Text exhibits poor performance. ==>How big is your Java heap? I have set 1 GB for java heap. ==>Do you have back pressure configured on the connection between ExtractText and ReplaceText? There is no back pressure between extract and replace text. ==>when you say that you specify concurrent tasks, what are you configuring the concurrent tasks to be? I have specify concurrent tasks to be 2 for the extract text processor due to slower processing rate.Which is specified in Concurrent Task Text box. ==>Have you changed the maximum number of concurrent tasks available to your dataflow? No i haven't changed. ==>How many CPU's are available on this machine? Only single cpu are available in this machine with core i5 processor CPU @2.20Ghz. ==> Are these the only processors in your flow, or do you have other dataflows going on in the same instance as NiFi? Yes this is the only processor in work flow which is running and no other instances are running.

You should be able to see far better results. To help us understand what is limiting the performance, and to make sure that we understand what you are seeing, I have a series of questions that would help us to understand what is going on. The first processor that you see that exhibits poor performance is ExtractText, correct? Can you share the configuration that you have for that processor? How big is your Java heap? This is configured in conf/bootstrap.conf; by default it is configured as: java.arg.2=-Xms512m java.arg.3=-Xmx512m Do you have backpressure configured on the connection between ExtractText and ReplaceText? Also, when you say that you specify concurrent tasks, what are you configuring the concurrent tasks to be? Have you changed the maximum number of concurrent tasks available to your dataflow? By default, NiFi will use only 10 threads max. How many CPU's are available on this machine? And finally, are these the only processors in your flow, or do you have other dataflows going on in the same instance as NiFi?

My Input File(.dat)-->3,00,000 rows. Objective: Move the data from '.dat' file into SQLServer. I can able to Store the data in SQL Server by using combination of above processors.But it takes almost 4-5 hrs to move complete data into SQLServer. Combination of SplitText's perform data read quickly.But Extract Text takes long time to pass given data matches with user defined expression.If input comes 107 MB but it send outputs in KB size only even ReplaceText processor also processing data in KB Size only. In accordance with above slow processing leads the more time taken for data into SQLsever. Extract Text,ReplaceText,ConvertJsonToSQL processors send's outgoing flow file in Kilobytes only. If i have specify concurrent tasks for those ExtractText,ReplaceText,ConvertJsonToSQL then it occupy the 100% cpu and disk usage. It just 30 MB data ,But processors takes 6 hrs for data movement into SQLServer. Faced Problem is.., 1. Almost 6 hrs taken for move the 3lakhs data into SQL Server. 2. ExtractText,ReplaceText take long time for processing data(it send output flowfile kb size only). Can anyone help me to solve below requirement? Need to reduce the number of time taken by the processors for move the lakhs of data into SQL Server. If anything i'm done wrong,please help me to done it right.
