----------------------------------
Summary: Deleting/Modifying Parameters with Nifi Registry
Key: NIFI-7363
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7363
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.11.1
Environment: NIFIREG 0.5.0
Reporter: Eric Secules
I am noticing that when I delete a parameter from a parameter context in NiFi a
number of strange things result.
* It doesn't register as a change that I can commit to the registry
* When I do make a change and commit to the registry, the deleted parameter
remains there and will be downloaded by anyone downloading the latest version
of the flow.
* When I look into the registry's file system, at the bottom of the .snapshot
files I notice that each individual process group has a listing of parameters
and their values each with slight differences from eachother. This is weird
because the documentation says that parameter contexts are global so I was
expecting a single parameter context entity somewhere.
What I expect to happen:
* When I delete or modify the value of a parameter I should be able to check
that in in a versioned way so that newer process group versions see the changes
but older versions do not.
I have noticed that the parameter context gets bloated with a bunch of
parameters that have no users and no way to delete them after doing a big
renaming effort.
I am working on confirming this with the latest releases of NiFi and registry,
but from reading the release notes it doesn't look like any improvements have
been released to parameter contexts.
