             Summary: NullPointerException on commit with multiple 
ProcessSession
                 Key: NIFI-8620
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8620
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 1.13.0
         Environment: Kubernetes on linux
            Reporter: Stanislas Deneuville


{color:#000000}For my particular use case I read and process a big file and 
produce smaller results along the way. I wanted to be able to regularly commit 
what has already been done before the end of the whole process.{color}

{color:#000000}So I inspired myself from the BinManager and created a custom 
processor that use 2 ProcessSessions:{color} * {color:#000000}a first main 
session for the read input flowfile and creating new ones forked from it{color}
 * {color:#000000}a second session for committing on the fly{color}
 


{color:#000000}{color:#000000}The workflow is something like that:{color}{color}
{code:java}
final ProcessSession mainSession = sessionFactory.createSession(); final 
ProcessSession secondSession = sessionFactory.createSession();

FlowFile inputFlowFile = mainSession.get();

try (InputStream in = mainSession.read(inputFlowFile)) {
  while (stillSomethingToRead) {
    // read and process data
    inputData = in.read(...);
    transformedData = transform(inputData);

    // Create output flowfile
    FlowFile outputflowFile = mainSession.create(inputFlowfile);
    // write transformedData to outputflowFile content
    [...]
    // also put some attributes on outputflowFile
    [...]

    // Output the results without waiting
    mainSession.migrate(secondSession, outputflowFiles);
    secondSession.transfer(outputflowFiles, successRelationship);
    secondSession.commit();
  }
}
mainsession.commit()
{code}


{color:#000000}It works well on Nifi Mock, however in a real Nifi environment I 
get a null pointer exception during the commit.{color}

code?{color}
