ASF GitHub Bot commented on NIFI-3792: -------------------------------------- Github user ottobackwards commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/3090 I think this general subject, and processor in particular can use some usage documentation, maybe an additional documentation page would be a good addition for this? > A processor to facilitate retrying FlowFiles > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-3792 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3792 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Joseph Percivall > Assignee: Joseph Percivall > Priority: Major > > When dealing with processor failures in production, potentially related to > network issues, the current best practice is to retry the flowfile a couple > times before declaring it a failure[1]. This currently requires multiple > processors and penalizing the flowfile isn't possible. Also if the flow is > not fast enough, back-pressure can cause a livelocked state which requires > manual intervention. > A new processor should be added to not only encourage best practices but also > offer configuration options to deal with un-optimal situations. > [1] > https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/77336/nifi-best-practices-for-error-handling.html -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
