---------------------------------
Summary: FlowFile Repo Journal Recovery Should not Fail if
External Overflow Files are Missing
Key: NIFI-6559
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6559
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core Framework
Reporter: Peter Wicks
Assignee: Peter Wicks
When NiFi is journaling the FlowFile repository changes to disk it sometimes
writes Overflow files if it exceeds a certain memory threshold.
These files are tracked inside of the *.journal files as External File
References. If one of these external file references is deleted or lost the
entire journal fails to recover.
Instead, I feel this should work more like FlowFile's that lose their queue, or
Content in the Content Repository that has lost it's FlowFile. Log it, and
move on.
