Jeff Storck updated NIFI-5585:
------------------------------
Resolution: Done
Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available)
> Prepare Nodes to be Offloaded
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-5585
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5585
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 1.7.1
> Reporter: Jeff Storck
> Assignee: Jeff Storck
> Priority: Major
>
> Allow a node in the cluster to be offloaded, rebalancing flowfiles on that
> node to the other active nodes.
> Only nodes that are DISCONNECTED can be transitioned to the OFFLOADING state.
> OFFLOADING nodes will transition to the OFFLOADED state once all flowfiles
> have been rebalanced to other connected nodes in the cluster.
> OFFLOADING nodes that remain in the OFFLOADING state (due to errors
> encountered while offloading) can be reconnected to the cluster by restarting
> NiFi on the node.
> OFFLOADED nodes can be reconnected to the cluster by issuing a connection
> request via the UI/CLI, or restarting NiFi on the node.
> OFFLOADED nodes can be deleted from the cluster.
> Once a node is OFFLOADED, it will behave like a DISCONNECTED node.
> OFFLOADING a node:
> * stops all processors
> * terminates all processors
> * stops transmitting on all remote process groups
> * rebalances flowfiles to other connected nodes in the cluster (via the work
> done in NIFI-5516)
> The steps to decommission a node and remove it from the cluster are:
> # Send request to disconnect the node
> # Once disconnect completes, send request to offload the node.
> # Once offload completes, send request to delete node.
> # Once the delete request has finished, the NiFi service on the host can be
> stopped/removed.
> When an error occurs and the node can not complete offloading, the user can:
> # Send request to delete the node from the cluster
> # Diagnose why the node had issues with the offload (out of memory, no
> network connection, etc) and address the issue
> # Restart NiFi on the node to so that it will reconnect to the cluster
> # Go through the steps to decommission a node
> The OFFLOADING request is idempotent.
> Toolkit CLI commands for retrieving a single node, list of nodes, and
> connecting/disconnecting/offloading/deleting nodes have been added.
> The cluster table UI has an icon to initiate the OFFLOADING of a DISCONNECTED
> node.
> Similar to the client sending PUT request with a DISCONNECTING message to
> cluster/nodes/\{id}, an OFFLOADING message can be sent as a PUT request to
> the same URI to initiate an OFFLOAD for a DISCONNECTED node.
