---------------------------------
Summary: Offloading a shut down node will never end until a full
reset
Key: NIFI-6189
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6189
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.9.1
Reporter: Nimrod Avni
If a situation occurs where one of your nodes is unresponsive, and you attempt
to offload it, it will be stuck in offloading status for ever until a full (not
rolling) restart will occur
This is a serious problem considering if your cluster does not have all it's
nodes connected you can't operate/create anything in it, for you to do it will
require you to shut down your entire cluster and start it over again
my suggestion for a solution is one of :
# offloading timeout: have a property under the nifi.properties file to
indicate how long to wait for a node to finish offloading before considering it
disconnected
# force offload to stop: have an option to force stop the offloading of a
node. making it disconnected
I found a hortonworks tread about this same issue
