In clusters, odd numbers of nodes are generally preferred (depending on clustering implementation) to avoid (to an extent) split-brain scenarios and generally manage quorum. I stand to be corrected, but in the current implementation in NiFi I don't think this is an issue. Additional nodes

We are planning to build a NiFi cluster and have two questions that we hope you could help us answer. 1. When having our NiFi cluster configured to run with an external Zookeeper cluster (i.e. not using the default embedded ZK mode) is it then still best practice to have an odd number of
