--------------------------------------
Summary: Remove VolatileContentRepository
Key: NIFI-9823
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9823
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core Framework
Reporter: David Handermann
Assignee: David Handermann
The {{VolatileContentRepository}} implementation of the Content Repository
interface supports storing FlowFile content claims in heap memory without
writing to a file system. Although this capability has potential uses, the
implementation is not optimal, and the repository itself has been broken for
several releases. Several framework updates to content claim processing result
in expected behavior when using the {{{}VolatileContentRepository{}}}, leading
to problems that can be difficult to troubleshoot. For these reasons, the
current {{VolatileContentRepository}} and associated documentation should be
removed from future releases.
Future efforts to support a similar capabilities may build on NiFi Stateless
functionality, and those efforts can be addressed in separate issues.
