Phillip Lord commented on NIFI-1638:
------------------------------------
Just ran into this using 0.7.1. Flowfile Tar V1 is using the Apache Commons
Compress library, which by default enforces the original tar specs of an 8GB
limit. Additionally the MergeContent processor did not route the file to
failure, but instead seemed to just yield the large file.
Error looks something like... "Failed to process bundle of 1 files due to
java.lang.RuntimeException: entry size 'xxxxxxxx' is too big (> 8589934591).;
rolling back sessions:
Hope this helps...
> Unable to TAR a file that is larger than 8GB

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1638
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Extensions
> Affects Versions: 0.4.0, 0.5.1
> Environment: RHEL 7, Dell 730xd server
> Reporter: John Teabo
>
> I get an error when trying to create a flow file tar v1 of a file that is
> larger than 8GB. Is there a way to allow the tarring of files larger than
> 8GB. Due to the nature of our project we need the attributes of split files
> and their parent files to be kept. I have been tarring all files that come in
> NiFi and then splitting the packages then taring the splits for
> reconstitution after being written to a directory on the server, then
> processed by another application, then the next instance of NiFi Takes over.
> unpacks the splits and reconstitutes the original package file with its
> attributes since I packaged it in a flowfile tar v1.
> Any help will be greatly appreciated!
