[Mayday mayday] Apache NiFi Unable to create Provenance Repository

sahaavish — Thu, 23 Mar 2017 21:05:36 GMT

I keep getting below error post a NiFi crash with this error [NiFi logging handler] org.apache.nifi.StdErr OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x00007f58338b0000, 65536, 1) failed; error='Cannot allocate memory' (errno=12)

and any attempt to restart NiFi is failing (reduce the Xms & Xmx, changed nifi.flowcontroller.autoResumeState=false, disk space is looking OK etc). Please help at the earliest -

This looks like this issue:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3186

Can you upgrade to 1.1.1?

Thank you @Bryan Bende for such a quick response, truly appreciate it.

However this is on production and restarting NiFi is priority, even if it means losing provenance data. Please advice? Thank you.

You should be able to delete all the files underneath "provenance_repository/journals/" and I think it will come back up correctly and you will only lose a couple of minutes or less of provenance data.

Of course if that doesn't work you can completely delete provenance_repository all together and restart with a clean provenance repo.
