I'm using NiFi 1.6.0, in a 3 node cluster. When I use GETSFTP (Set to ALL Nodes) in a clustered nifi the cluster seems to distribute the data acquired evenly among nodes. Does this mean that all 3 servers GetSFTP the data evenly? I also tried using FETCH SFTP to get the listings and then did a site to site, back to my own cluster and It did NOT distribute the Fetch 0 byte files evenly among the nodes for the fetch SFTP load to be evenly distributed. What would be the best practice to Load Balance SFTPGET in a nifi cluster? John ... View more

So I have 4 740xd Servers with 80 Threads on each and 384GB of ram each. How should I best handle heap for each nifi VM on the server? Option 1: 1, VM 80 cpus, NiFi set to 300GB of Ram for heap? And have the 4 nifis clustered. Option 2: 10, VMs 8 cpus each, NiFi set to 32GB of Ram for heap for each VM, These NiFis would also be clustered, across the Virtualized 740 and across the 4 hardware 740s Note: all these files going through these nifis are less than 4GB, and 90% of them are under 10MB ALSO what generation should I use for Java Garbage Collection? Attached are two pictures explaining my options. John ... View more

Hi Everyone! I keep getting a: ERROR [Curator-Framework-0] o.a.c.f.imps.CuratorFrameworkImpl Background retry gave up org.apache.curator.CuratorConnectionLossException: KeeperErrorCode = ConnectionLoss My EDITABLE config files are here in the associated directories in my google drive below and attached, this is a 3 node cluster: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11xM-sz8mUvpaiOOS4aiZ94TQGHHzConF?usp=sharing I made sure FirewallD was off, all ports used are free, and I followed these guides: https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDF3/HDF-3.1.1/bk_administration/content/clustering.html AND https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/135820/configuring-an-external-zookeeper-to-work-with-apa.html Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
