NiFi PublishKafka_0_10 processor

[#1]

Hi,

I am trying to publish to a kafka topic on a kafka broker. I am receving the error such as

relationship not specified; rolling back session: {}

I was able to replicate the error when I tried to write 0 byte files.

Use the GenerateFlowFile processor to create ten 100 byte files, instead of zero byte files

@Wynner

I really appreciate your help.

I tried using the GenerateFlowFileProcessor to create non zero bytes files, started it, it was successful hence it got queued on success. However it is the still same news.

@dhieru singh

Did you clear all of the zero byte files from queue on the connection first?

[#5]

@Wynner

Yes I did empty the queue.

@dhieru singh

Will you post the configuration of the GenerateFlowFile processor?

Are you seeing the same error now?

[#7]

@dhieru singh

Okay, so you are now getting a different error. Try setting the run schedule to 30 seconds so you don't generate so many flow files and fill up the queue.

It is probably trying to write all of the files at once and hitting the timeout.

Clear the queue, set the run schedule to 30 seconds on the GenerateFlowFile processor and then turn on the PublishKafka processor.

@Wynner Thanks The generate flow file processor works however there is error on the PublishKafka side says Timeout exception,

@Wynner

Thanks for the help it is hihgly appreciated

@dhieru singh

Are you able to Publish messages to the Kafka broker now?

[#11]

yes @Wynner

I created a new topic and published it to that, it is working, no other changes except for creating a new topic on kafka broker. I generated a 100 B 10 files and published it, it worked like charm. Now I will move on from this PoC to a more solid use case. Thanks for you help and patience Highly appreciated.
