I would like to learn why EncryptionException is a RuntimeException and not
a checked exception, but since that's not related per se, +1 LGTM, merging to
master, thank you!

> Key: NIFI-4237
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4237
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Russell Bateman
> Assignee: Andy LoPresto
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: encryption, logging, security
>
> Our Ansible instructions upgraded NiFi and created a new
> {{nifi.sensitive.props.key}}. In _nifi.properties_ this property, if extant,
> is used to encrypt sensitive properties in _flow.xml.gz_. Thus, upon
> relaunching NiFi, the wrong key was used to decrypt resulting in the reported
> failure to start, _flow.xml.gz_ is no longer useful.
> We found the problem and fixed it after Mark Payne suggested a possible
> cause, but if this state of things can be determined, it might save on
> community support for this situation if the logged message were to suggest
> what's at the bottom of this problem. The top of the stack trace appears in
> _logs/nifi-app.log_ as below:
> 2017-07-25 23:23:31,148 WARN [main] org.apache.nifi.web.server.JettyServer
> Failed to start web server... shutting down.
