Joe Witt commented on NIFI-7114:
--------------------------------
as an update for those following along
I've got nifi 1.8 and lastest master running identical flows side by side.
indeed i cannot see any leak on 1.8. But I do on master.
What is most funny is Burgess and I think the problem is related to not
properly closing DataInput/OutputStreams in mapcache client/server. And he
fixed that and tried against master and that works now too.
But this bug has been here....for a long time. So there must be some
underlying change that exposed this handling or something. More digging to do
but good progress in any case.
> 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.
