Paul Kelly commented on NIFI-7114:
----------------------------------
That is so strange that you can't replicate. The simpler flow leaks 100% of
the time for me when stopping and starting GenerateFlowFile for one minute each.
There is more to the story with our production flow. This test flow is not
what held me off of upgrading as I did upgrade in production. We leak so badly
there that I originally set up a script to restart NiFi once per hour since by
two hours we'd hit our increased ulimit of 100,000 and NiFi would hang with
"out of file handles".
Maybe it's something related to the version of Linux we're using? I'm using
Ubuntu Server 18.04 and Xubuntu 18.04 for testing, which is what [~vzolin]
reported using as well.
> NiFi not closing file handles
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-7114
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7114
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Configuration
> Affects Versions: 1.10.0, 1.11.0
> Environment: Amazon EC2 running either Amazon Linux 2 or Ubuntu 18.04.
> NiFi has been installed with no change to any configuration file.
> Reporter: Vinicius Zolin
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: destination.xml, fifocounts.txt, flow.xml.gz, lsof.log,
> lsof.zip, lsofAfter.log, lsofBefore.log, openFiles.xlsx, reproduction.zip,
> source.xml
>
>
> Since at least version 1.10 NiFi stopped closing file handles. It opens circa
> 500 files per hour (measured using lsof) without any apparent limit until it
> crashes due to too many open files.
>
> Increasing the computer open file limit is not a solution since NiFi will
> still crash, it'll only take longer to do so.
