Michael Moser commented on NIFI-1085:
-------------------------------------
Tested my ability to write to nifi git repo at git-wip-us.apache.org, success.
This small patch has been tested for a week on 2 different clusters. Consensus
of users is this change has no ill effects. Users say the NiFi UI *seems* to
present "spinning wheel of death" for shorter periods of time when cluster is
busy.

> 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.
