Bryan Bende updated NIFI-4476:
------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: In Progress)
> PutTCP/UDP/Syslog/Splunk can unncessarily yield
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-4476
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4476
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Bryan Bende
> Assignee: Bryan Bende
>
> These processors all perform similar logic at the beginning of onTrigger...
> They attempt to get a flow file (syslog gets batches, others do single) and
> if no flow files are available they then attempt to close any connections
> that are considered idle, and then yield is called.
> All of these processors also have @TriggerWhenEmpty in order to give them a
> chance to close idle connections, so as a result we have to yield in order to
> not eat up the CPU.
> The problem is that in the current implementation, if there is a split second
> when no flow files are available, or if a failure queue is looped back to
> PutSyslog, then yield will be called, but we really didn't want to yield in
> those cases and now we slowed down the processor for no reason.
> We should only yield if we closed at least one connection which means data
> hasn't come through in greater than expiration time, or if there were already
> no connections which means we've closed them all and have been sitting in a
> loop yielding.
