Hi Clay, Because Nifi underneath uses a thread pool for it's own threading underneath, and each instance processor runs does so in it's own thread, I don't see any reason why not. One thing to note that the way the ListenTCP processor appears to have been written such that it gets all the requests that have been received on that socket and processes them until either it has no more requests left or process or that instance of the processor is no longer scheduled to run.
Hope that helps Edward On Fri, Aug 2, 2019 at 11:28 AM Clay Teahouse <clayteaho...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello All, > > I need to listen to and process thousands of persistent TCP connections.
