David Handermann updated NIFI-9823:
-----------------------------------
Description:
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.
