If I wrote an offline FlowFile Repository checkpoint utility, and put it in the
NiFi utilities, do you think this would be an appropriate option that I could
add to it there?

> 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
> Priority: Minor
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> 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.
