------------------------------------------------
Summary: ParseEVTX Processor does not pass failed flow files to
failure relationship
Key: NIFI-13333
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-13333
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Framework
Affects Versions: 1.24.0
Environment: Docker
Reporter: Stephen Jeffrey Hindmarch
As noted in NIFI-13332, when the ParseEVTX fails to parse a file, eg if the
file has the wrong minor version, the flow file is not passed to the failure
relationship, but instead remains on the incoming relationship with a penalty
and is repeatedly parsed.
This seems like a poor behaviour choice, as there is nothing that is going to
change about that incoming file that will allow it to be parsed.
For example, generate a test flow with some simple text content, eg
{code:java}
<Data>Not an EVTX File</Data>{code}
Then send this to a ParseEVTX processor. The parser will keep penalising the
flow file and keep it on the incoming queue with this error message.
