Installed Apache Nifi Server but it won't start

Fabricio — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 23:14:34 GMT

Installed Nifi (v1.20) on RHEL7, java version is openjdk version 1.8.0_181. After starting nifi I can see it reports back that is it running and listening for Bootstrap requests, however, a few seconds later it shuts down.

Appreciate any help on this, I new to Apache Nifi

@Fabricio you area using a very old version of JDK 1.8.0. I suggest you try upgrading your JDK version to the latest release and try again. I believe the latest JDK is 1.8.0_381.

Thanks Matt. Agree that it could be an old version, however, we have a Dev env and a Prod env, both using the same JDK, strangely as it is, in Dev the NiFi server runs without issue and Prod is throwing that error I described earlier. My concern upgrading JDK is that it might mess up with Cloudera installation and also, why is it working fine in Dev using the same 1.8.0_181.

@Fabricio Is your DEV running the exact same version of NiFi on the same OS version?
Cloudera has not released an Apache NIFi 1.20 based release of Cloudera Flow Management yet (CFM).
However, even with the latest CFM 2.1.5.1000 release (based off Apache NiFi 1.18+), the minimum supported JDK version is JDK 1.8 update 252 or newer. We always recommend using the latest JDK 8 or 11 release with NiFi for bug and security reasons.

At a minimum, i'd suggest reinstalling your JDK as it seems to be a bad install. Also make sure you have installed the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 8 in your JDK.

Another suggestion would be to but NiFi in DEBUG from the logback.xml config file to see if you can get more log output on the (java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException) Implementation not available in this environment exception.
