Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-1085:
-----------------------------------
Wow. It would be really helpful to understand more of what is being seen under
the covers. I can understand why adding fairness would provide some better
behavior but i wonder if we can tackle the root of the issue more directly.
Obviously any details/logs you can share is ideal.
Thanks

> Key: NIFI-1085
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1085
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 0.3.0
> Reporter: Michael Moser
>
> With a 6 node cluster with thousands of components on the graph, we noticed
> that the ReentrantReadWriteLock in WebClusterManager can starve NiFi Web
> Server threads that are waiting on the read lock.
> Thread dumps shows the HeartbeatMonitoringTimerTask thread holding the write
> lock while many Web Server threads are parked waiting on the read lock.
> Modify the ReentrantReadWriteLock to operate in fair mode (to give the lock
> to threads waiting the longest, such as those wanting the read lock).
> Modify the HearbeatMonitoringTimerTask timer to not be scheduleAtFixedRate()
> but instead use schedule() to execute it less often if garbage collection
> blocks it.
