Thank you, Ed, for the insight on the ListSFTP processor and for providing some possible workarounds. I think this will give me enough to work with to come up with a solution.

Bump. Does anyone have any ideas surrounding this? I feel like it's a poor design choice to not allow ListSFTP to have upstream connections. It doesn't make sense because almost every field in ListSFTP allows expression language. Why would NiFi not allow us to pass the server information to ListSFTP when it has the capability of expression language? So it seems the only way to pass server information to this processor is via the variable registry in 'nifi.properties'?

We contacted Hortonworks directly and talked with the Nifi developers who confirmed this is a bug in the ValidateCSV processor. No timeline on a fix.

Hello, I'm working on a flow that currently uses FetchSFTP to download a file from an sFTP server every 15 minutes or so. It works, however, if a file is not there (which is valid in our use-case) then the FetchSFTP throws an error. Because of this error, our log monitors think there is an actual error, but in reality it's not an error, it is just how our flow is set up. So to avoid this error from FetchSFTP, I want to use a ListSFTP to check for a file first. However, ListSFTP does not allow upstream connections so I cannot pass the sFTP server information to it. We load this server information from a GetFile upstream and then use an UpdateAttribute to add the information to the flowfile. I don't understand the reasoning for not allowing upstream connections to the ListSFTP processor. Can someone explain why it's designed like this? Also, do you know of another workaround to stop FetchSFTP from throwing an error when it doesn't find a file (since it's just going to be looking again in 15 minutes or so). Thanks for the help. Also, since a picture is worth a thousand words, here is our current flow with the FetchSFTP getting information from the client config file:

I've continued to research this issue further and have been able to replicate the issue with a simplified flow using just a GenerateFlowfile processor running at 30 second intervals and a ValidateCSV.

I'm having an issue with the NiFi ValidateCSV processor claiming a valid file is invalid. This file will pass through the processor correctly as a valid file on the first attempt, but if I leave the flow running and try to put the same file through again immediately after, it claims that the file is invalid. However, if I stop and start the flow between each file validation, the file will always be valid. It seems like the processor is keeping some of the flowfile content in memory when it tries to evaluate the second pass, causing it to fail. The schema validation is only checking the first column for a unique() entry. It's set up like this: "Unique(), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*")), Optional(StrRegEx(".*"))" See attached for the flow and processor in question. Any ideas? Any help is much appreciated.
