Need to restart Nifi 1.13.2 to clean content repository

Dear all,

 

After migrating an historical flow from 1.11.4 to 1.13.2, without any changes, after a while, the limits are raised but the content repository is never cleaned. I restart nifi, and the content-repository is cleaned.

 

Thx for your help

Jean-Louis

 

OS : Ubuntu : 20.04.2

Java : OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_292-8u292-b10-0ubuntu1~20.04-b10)

# Content Repository
nifi.content.repository.implementation=org.apache.nifi.controller.repository.FileSystemRepository
nifi.content.claim.max.appendable.size=10 MB
nifi.content.claim.max.flow.files=100
nifi.content.repository.directory.default=/data3/nifi_repositories/content_repository

I think I figured out with this issue.

I deal with very small and very huge contents, the default values for properties hereafter are not appropriate (Claim size retained ...), so I decrease drastically the values as follows:

  • nifi.content.claim.max.appendable.size=10 MB   ==> 5MB
  • nifi.content.claim.max.flow.files=100 ==> 50
  • nifi.content.repository.archive.max.retention.period=12 hours ==> 2 hours

Until now, the platform doesn't freeze anymore.
