I’m trying to create my first cluster using NiFi 1.1.0. It’s a simple 3-node unsecure configuration with each node running embedded zookeeper. The instances all come up and the zookeeper quarum is reached.
If I bring up the UI for the node that is elected as the cluster coordinator, it works as expected, and shows that 3 nodes are participating in the cluster. However, if I attempt to display the UI on the non-coordinator nodes, after a delay of about 10 seconds an error page is returned. The logs contains a stream of exceptions similar to the following: 2016-12-07 11:08:17,914 WARN [Replicate Request Thread-2] o.a.n.c.c.h.r.ThreadPoolRequestReplicator Failed to replicate request GET /nifi-api/flow/current-user to localhost:8080 due to {} com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientHandlerException: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out at com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.URLConnectionClientHandler.handle(URLConnectionClientHandler.java:155) ~[jersey-client-1.19.jar:1.19] at com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client.handle(Client.java:652) ~[jersey-client-1.19.jar:1.19] at com.sun.jersey.api.client.filter.GZIPContentEncodingFilter.handle(GZIPContentEncodingFilter.java:123) ~[jersey-client-1.19.jar:1.19] at com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource.handle(WebResource.java:682) ~[jersey-client-1.19.jar:1.19] at com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource.access$200(WebResource.java:74) ~[jersey-client-1.19.jar:1.19] at com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource$Builder.get(WebResource.java:509) ~[jersey-client-1.19.jar:1.19] at org.apache.nifi.cluster.coordination.http.replication.ThreadPoolRequestReplicator.replicateRequest(ThreadPoolRequestReplicator.java:578) ~[nifi-framework-cluster-1.1.0.jar:1.1.0] at org.apache.nifi.cluster.coordination.http.replication.ThreadPoolRequestReplicator$NodeHttpRequest.run(ThreadPoolRequestReplicator.java:770) ~[nifi-framework-cluster-1.1.0.jar:1.1.0] at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:511) [na:1.8.0_101] at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) [na:1.8.0_101] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) [na:1.8.0_101] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) [na:1.8.0_101] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) [na:1.8.0_101] Caused by: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead(SocketInputStream.java:116) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:170) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:141) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at java.io.BufferedInputStream.fill(BufferedInputStream.java:246) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read1(BufferedInputStream.java:286) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(BufferedInputStream.java:345) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTPHeader(HttpClient.java:704) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTP(HttpClient.java:647) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream0(HttpURLConnection.java:1536) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1441) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at java.net.HttpURLConnection.getResponseCode(HttpURLConnection.java:480) ~[na:1.8.0_101] at com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.URLConnectionClientHandler._invoke(URLConnectionClientHandler.java:253) ~[jersey-client-1.19.jar:1.19] at com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.URLConnectionClientHandler.handle(URLConnectionClientHandler.java:153) ~[jersey-client-1.19.jar:1.19] ... 12 common frames omitted The nifi.properties file contains the following, with nifi.cluster.node.address set appropriately on each node # cluster node properties (only configure for cluster nodes) # nifi.cluster.is.node=true nifi.cluster.node.address=172.31.1.247 nifi.cluster.node.protocol.port=8081 nifi.cluster.node.protocol.threads=10 nifi.cluster.node.event.history.size=25 nifi.cluster.node.connection.timeout=5 sec nifi.cluster.node.read.timeout=5 sec nifi.cluster.firewall.file= nifi.cluster.flow.election.max.wait.time=5 mins nifi.cluster.flow.election.max.candidates=3 # zookeeper properties, used for cluster management # nifi.zookeeper.connect.string=172.31.13.177:2181,172.31.1.247:2181,172.31.1.69:2181 nifi.zookeeper.connect.timeout=3 secs nifi.zookeeper.session.timeout=3 secs nifi.zookeeper.root.node=/nifi I’ve run out of ideas; I presume I’ve overlooked some simple configuration value, but I can’t find it.
