Hello,

In updating our Nifi setup to 1.4.0, one of our regression tests started to
fail.

On investigation I ran into an issue with FlowFile state that has confused
me.

The following processor takes an input flow file, writes "NEW_DATA" to it,
the clones it.
It then outputs the original flowFile and the clone to different output
relationships.
I had expected that the two outputs would be the same, but if I run this
through (using GenerateFlowFile to generate input), I get different output.

If I play in data "OLD", then:
OutputA receives a flowFile with the written content "NEW_DATA".
OutputB receives the original content "OLD" that was sent into the
processor.

If instead I play in data longer than 8 bytes (ie longer than "NEW_DATA"),
then CloneTestProcess errors and yields.
The error from the logs is below.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Matthew Watson

Code:

public class CloneTestProcessor extends AbstractProcessor {

    public static final Relationship OUTPUT_A = new
Relationship.Builder().name("OUTPUT_A").build();
    public static final Relationship OUTPUT_B = new
Relationship.Builder().name("OUTPUT_B").build();

    @Override
    public Set<Relationship> getRelationships() {
        return ImmutableSet.of(OUTPUT_A, OUTPUT_B);
    }

    @Override
    public void onTrigger(ProcessContext context, ProcessSession
session) throws ProcessException {

        String DATA = "NEW_DATA";

        FlowFile flowFile = session.get();
        if(flowFile == null) {
            return;
        }

        FlowFile output = session.write(flowFile, (in, out) -> {
            out.write(DATA.getBytes());
        });

        FlowFile other = session.clone(flowFile);
        session.transfer(flowFile, OUTPUT_A);
        session.transfer(other, OUTPUT_B);
    }
}
