             Summary: Content Repository Filling Up
                 Key: NIFI-9056
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9056
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 1.13.2
            Reporter: Andrew Heys


We have a clustered nifi setup that has recently been upgraded to 1.13.2 from 
1.11.4. After upgrading, one of the issues we have run into is that the Content 
Repository will fill up to the 
nifi.content.repository.archive.backpressure.percentage mark and lock the 
processing & canvas. The only solution is to restart nifi at this point. We 
have the following properties set:

nifi.content.repository.archive.backpressure.percentage=95%

nifi.content.repository.archive.max.usage.percentage=25%

nifi.content.repository.archive.max.retention.period=2 hours

The max usage property seems to be completed ignored. Monitoring the nifi 
cluster disk % for content repository shows that it slowly fills up over time 
and never decreasing. If we pause the input to entire nifi flow and let all the 
processing clear out with 0 flowfiles remaining on the canvas for 15+ minutes, 
the content repository disk usage does not decrease. Currently, our only 
solution is to restart nifi on a daily cron schedule. After restarting the 
nifi, it will clear out the 80+ GB of the content repository and usage falls 
down to 0%. 

 

There seems to be an issue removing the older content claims in 1.13.2.

Thanks!
