Thank you so much Koji for replying, 

This issue of SSL Handshake we see is for a single node cluster instance,
where our NiFi application has been deployed in Kubernetes container, Here
is the below configuration we did for site-to-site in nifi.properties file
for a single cluster node. 

# Site to Site properties 
nifi.remote.input.host=<hostname_of_the_self_node_container>
nifi.remote.input.secure=true 
nifi.remote.input.socket.port=9443 
nifi.remote.input.http.enabled=false 

I was trying to understand how site-to-site works internally by going
through source code and also debugging parallel to how it does
communication. I found couple of observations from my analysis 

1. First off, I believe when you give same hostname as nifi application
running in a container for site-to-site in nifi.properties for single
cluster node, the internal site-to-site java code doesn't get the hostname
of the self node when asked for cluster nodes information (NodeInFormant),
instead it gives some other private ip hostname. In the logs we see -* DEBUG
[Site-to-Site Worker Thread-235] o.a.nifi.remote.SocketRemoteSiteListener
org.apache.nifi.remote.SocketRemoteSiteListener$1$1@74dd1923 Connection URL
is nifi://ip-10-200-46-112.us-west-2.compute.internal:22343*
>From above debug log, I see the internal java code is not recognizing that
its a docker container instead its trying to connect with unknown hostname
name with random port. I believe due to incapable of recognizing its a
container instead returning some kubernetes node ip address, its throwing
the ssl handshake error 

Interesting thing is, When the port 'nifi.remote.input.socket.port' (9443)
was reachable at a container level, we see the above SSLHandshake error with
site-to-site worker thread trying to hit different hostname from the point-1
I mentioned above, when we blocked this port from the container, the
SSLHandshake error went away, we no longer see when blocking the port from
'nifi.remote.input.socket.port' in properties. I'm not sure if this make
sense but I want to understand how site-to-site works internally in detail. 

If above of my observations are incorrect or something needs to be done,
please help me in understanding. Please Bryan, Pierre, Marks, Koji or any
NiFi experts pleas help me understanding this. I have gone through almost
all blogs and etc. 

Please suggest the solution, 

Thanks, 
Nadeem
