Mark Payne commented on NIFI-13340:
-----------------------------------
Thanks [~yuanhao.zhu] [~joewitt] I was able to track down the issue.
It appears that what is happening is the following sequence of events:
- A FlowFile comes into the group
- The FlowFile is split into two FlowFiles
- One of the FlowFiles is routed to the Output Port, while the other is routed
elsewhere
- The Output Port is triggered. It opens the valve to allow data to flow out of
the group.
- The Output Port goes to close flow out of the group. However, the group is
not empty, so the valve is not closed.
- The other FlowFile is never routed to an output port. Instead, it is
auto-terminated by some processor.
In this case, because the second FlowFile was never routed to an Output Port
but instead was terminated within the group, the Output Port was not run again,
and so it did not have a chance to close the Valve when the group became empty.
So that's why you see that the Diagnostics Output said the valve is output to
let data flow out.
I put up a PR that will address this issue.

> *Background:* We run nifi as a standalone instance in a docker container in
> on all our stages, the statemanagement provider used by our instance is the
> local WAL backed provider.
> {*}Description{*}: We observed that the flowfiles in front of one of our
> processor groups stopped to be ingested once in a while and it happens on all
> our stages without noticeable pattern. The flowfile concurrency policy of the
> processor group that stopped ingesting data is set to SINGLE_BATCH_PER_NODE
> and the outbound policy is set to BATCH_OUTPUT. The ingestion should continue
> since the processor group had already send out every flowfile in it, but it
> stopped.
>
> There is only one brutal solution from our side(We need to delete the
> processor group and restore it from nifi registry again) and the occurrence
> of this issue had impacted our data ingestion.
