[#1]

Dears,   

     I am trying to convert excel to csv using convert excel to csv processor in apache NIFI the size of my excel sheets are around 20000 kb to 45000  kb. I am getting the below error in Cloudera flow management 2.1.4.0 and my file is not corrupt as the same conversion was working in Apache NIFI 1.15.3

Please let me know how to resolve this.

Thanks

You appear to be hitting the following Apache NiFi ConvertExcelToCSVProcessor issue:

The fix for above issue exists in the following releases:

Thanks for the reply @MattWho 

Above mentioned issue appears only for few flows when data volume is as mentioned above. Rest of the flows in the same version(Cloudera flow management 2.1.4.0)  are successfully getting converted to CSV from excel.

Why it is happening only for few flows in Cloudera flow management 2.1.4.0.

And also I have never encountered this issue for any data volume in Apache NIFI 1.15.3

@SowmyaP 
The issue is related to the size of source FlowFile content.  It is not related to the volume of FlowFiles being processed, but rather directly related to the individual FlowFile's contemt size.   So only when FlowFile Excel content is larger than 10 MB will you encounter https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10792. This issue does not exist in Apache NiFi 1.15.3 and earlier. Apache NiFi versions between 1.16 and 1.20 are impacted by this issue. The above issue was addressed in Apache NiFi 1.21.0 and newer.

The processor was refactored in above Jira to resolve the 10 MB size restraint.

You'll need to upgrade to Apache NiFi 1.21 or newer to resolve this issue.
