I have a node in a cluster whose FlowFile repository grew so fast that it exceeded the amount of available heap space and now can't checkpoint. Or that is my interpretation of the error.
"Cannot update journal file flowfile_repository/journals/####.journal because this journal has already encountered a failure when attempting to write to the file." Additionally, on restart, we see NiFi failed to restart because it ran out of heap space while doing a SchemaRecordReader.readFieldValue. Feeling a bit stuck on where to go from here. Based on metrics we collect, we see a large increase in FlowFile's on that node right before it crashed, and in linux we see the following: 94G ./journals/overflow-569618072 356G ./journals/overflow-569892338 Oh, and a 280 GB checkpoint file There are a few queues/known FlowFile's that are probably the problem, and I'm OK with dropping them, but there is plenty of other data in there too that I don't want to lose... Thanks, Peter
