Simon Bence reassigned NIFI-7292: --------------------------------- Assignee: Simon Bence > ListFile should apply filters before checking permissions. > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-7292 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7292 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.9.2 > Reporter: Matthew Clarke > Assignee: Simon Bence > Priority: Major > > I noticed that NiFi's ListFile processor (and probably other list based > processors) will check permissions on sub-directories before it evaluates the > path filter. > Let's assume we have a mounted directory (/NiFi/mount) that contains sub > directories (A, B, C, D, and private). The NiFi Service user has permissions > to access all directories A,B,C, and D, but not the "private" directory. > I then add a path filter in my ListFile to exclude the "private" directory > (for example: (?!(private)).* ) > When I start the ListFile it errors because the NiFi service user does not > have permissions to "private" directory even though I have no intention of > listing anything from that directory. Since it Errors it does not listed > files from any directory including those which have the needed permissions. > If I give the NiFi service user access to that "private" dir then the listing > works ignoring the "private" dir files. > I feel as though the processor should apply the path and/or file filters > before checking permissions? > Users may not have ability to edit permissions on some sub directories. And > with other sub-directories having being dynamically created or having a very > large number of sub-directories, creating a separate ListFile for each > sub-directory is not a desirable solution either. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
