--------------------------------------
Summary: Remove instability warning in documentation of newer (>=
0_10) Kafka processors
Key: NIFI-4623
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4623
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation & Website
Affects Versions: 1.4.0
Reporter: Janosch Woschitz
Priority: Minor
The documentation of all Kafka processors (publish and consume) does contain
the following warning:
{quote}Please note there are cases where the publisher can get into an
indefinite stuck state. We are closely monitoring how this evolves in the Kafka
community and will take advantage of those fixes as soon as we can. In the
meantime it is possible to enter states where the only resolution will be to
restart the JVM NiFi runs on.{quote}
Based on a conversation on the dev mailing list, Joe Witt stated that this
warning is not needed anymore for processors targeting Kafka 0_10 and beyond:
{quote}It was there previously because it
was observed that timeout conditions could cause threads to stay in a
hung state and as the caller of the client we weren't in a position to
resolve it. However, newer client libraries are better and I no
longer have observed these issues personally. For the 0_10 or newer
clients I think we can adjust the docs to indicate that these should
work just fine.{quote}
