We have a PostHTTP with the failure relationship going to a downstream processor. The downstream processor has a huge task count - over 100 million tasks across the cluster in the 5-minute stats window. Yet, there are only between 4,000-18,000 FlowFiles that are processed in that same time.
The exact downstream processor does not change the behavior. Three separate processor types were added as the next downstream processor to the original PostHTTP - one of them a simple UpdateAttribute that did not update any attributes - and each downstream processor exhibited the same unusually high task count. Any ideas on why there are so many tasks executing for this particular connection?
