Issue:

This issue has been observed on an HDP cluster running NiFi service with HDF 3.0.1 managed by Ambari 2.6.1.5.

HDF 3.0.1 is supported only with Ambari 2.5.1 version. Therefore, in situation where you upgrade Ambari from 2.5.x to 2.6.y HDF services like NiFi won't start & complain the error shared in the below stack trace.

To handle this, you have to upgrade HDF mpack from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 after the Ambari upgrade is complete. This additional activity is required to get the HDF service working with Ambari 2.6.y. Also, this step is independent of the HDF upgrade that you would have planned separately
