Hello everyone,

In general NiFi seems to support HA semantics by establishing a 
multi-master/no-master clustering via Zookeeper. This works well to achieve 
consensus for the currently deployed flow. Though it is not clear to me how I 
can prevent against local disk failure apart from relying on a RAID10 setup.

The flow file and the content repositories are stored on local disks. If I have 
a rather complex flow then a full outage of a node of my cluster could result 
in data loss of the data which is “flowing” through a node at the time being.

I found the following feature proposals in the wiki which seem to address this 
problem:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/Data+Replication
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/High+Availability+Processing

Unfortunately I was not able to find any pointers about the current state of 
these proposals. Is there any active work happening in this direction?

How could one support the project to achieve the goals mentioned in these 
feature proposals? I would think the work needs to broken down in smaller work 
package beforehand to allow a smooth integration into the master/upstream.

Thanks,
Janosch
