Hello, I struggle on a dependency issues in spark, now. Being new in spark, I hope there is a simple remedy. The question is, is there any mechanism how to separate dependencies of the spark engine and dependencies of a application.   Example: The latest version of spark-core_2.12 (3.1.1, March 2021) depends on hadoop-client (3.3.0, March 2020) which itself depends on hadoop-common (3.3.0, July 2020) which finally depends on an antient version of gson (2.2.4, May 2013). You can easily find many other examples, e.g. commons-codec, protobuf-java ...   So, what if your application, basically a library developed outside spark, depends on the latest (no longer compatible) version of gson 2.8.6? My obviously naive approach to start a spark application ends in runtime incompatibility clashes (e.g. with gson)   Best regards Jaro ... View more

Hello, while attempting to start ListenHTTP (port=10000) on a fresh cluster, I obtain the following error. Do you know what to change to get it work?   ListenHTTP[id=6222ab5d-0177-1000-ffff-ffffaeaba266] Failed to properly initialize Processor. If still scheduled to run, NiFi will attempt to initialize and run the Processor again after the 'Administrative Yield Duration' has elapsed. Failure is due to java.io.IOException: Failed to bind to 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:10000: java.io.IOException: Failed to bind to 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:10000 Cloudera Flow Management (CFM) 2.0.4.0 1.11.4.2.0.4.0-80 built 09/27/2020 09:52:49 CEST Tagged nifi-1.11.4-RC1   Best regards Jaro ...

Hello, I try to work out some automated deployment situation in NiFi (no UI usage, just cli toolkit or alternatives).   Let us asume, you have a nifi flow under a load which need to be updated. There are some data in in-between connection queues. What happens when you try to update the flow? Will some data be lost or will the update be refused?   Are there any solution for procedure like this. 1) stop the data receiving processor 2) check if the success connection queue is empty 3) apply steps 1 and 2 to the next processor till the last processor is stopped. 4) update the flow ignoring any data in failure or error connection queues   Do you think it is reasonable approach? Is there something ready to use? Best regards Jaro   ... View more

Hello, I have tried to use nifi cli toolkit (nifi 1.11.4) to set parameter like this. However, I can't see any effect. What have I doing wrong?   #> nifi get-param-context -u http://localhost:8080 -pcid 828f0882-0177-1000-aabd-d680a070c5c5 # Name Value Sensitive Description - ------------- ------------- --------- ----------- 1 sample.Passwd ******** true 2 sample.Schema SAMPLE001 false 3 sample.URL jdbc://sample false 4 sample.User dbsample false   #> nifi set-param -u http://localhost:8080 -pcid 828f0882-0177-1000-aabd-d680a070c5c5 -pn sample.URL newvalue Waiting for update request to complete...   #> nifi get-param-context -u http://localhost:8080 -pcid 828f0882-0177-1000-aabd-d680a070c5c5 # Name Value Sensitive Description - ------------- ------------- --------- ----------- 1 sample.Passwd ******** true 2 sample.Schema SAMPLE001 false 3 sample.URL jdbc://sample false 4 sample.User dbsample false Best regards Jaro Jaro ...

Hello, I have a question regarding the concept of parameter context.   The admin guide says : A Process Group can only be assigned one Parameter Context, while a given Parameter Context can be assigned to multiple Process Groups.   OK, let's assume you have internal kafka or database, and some external system you connect to. You might want to have a parameter "group" for the internal kafka connection, and another parameter contexts for each external system connection. However, your flow, clearly a part a process group, reads data from external system and stores data internally. Thus you need actually 2 connections in the flow, it means 2 parameter contexts, which is not possible. To solve that, you assign the connections (controller services) to the parent group and the parameters. Finally, for connections which are common to many flows, like your kafka, databases, and HttpSSL you land in the parent NiFi Flow, having parameter context which contains a bunch of pretty unrelated parameters (for kafka, databases, ..).   What is see, there is hardly a possibility to reuse parameter context as they cannot be combined and thus you have 1:1 relationship between par. context and group just like for variables assigned to a processor group.   Did I miss something? What is actually the big advantage of parameters over variables? Best regards Jaro ... View more

Hello, Does nipyapi package works with windows 10 (64bit)? I have tried to install nipyapi on two machines, one with winpython (manual installation of downloaded packages) another with anaconda (installation with pip). Both failed, obviously due a number of missing obscure dependencies like libxml2.   I have only a little knowledge, but the installation looked like a tough stuff under windows 10.   Is nipyapi recommended at all or are there better alternatives?   Best regards Jaro ...
