Re: Empty Queue - but UI shows messages

[Mark Payne]

Joe,

Given that the icon shows the data is still being load balanced, I am guessing 
that the system is having trouble load balancing the data. Can you check the 
logs to see if there are errors related to load balancing?

Thanks

I can stop/start InvokeHTTP, but the queue size remains.  I can't list what is 
in the queue.  This seems like a bug?  What I'm confused about is - do I have 
data to process or not?  I can empty the queue, and something is removed, but I 
can't see what...so I don't know if I lost messages or not.

This likely means the processor consuming from this queue has the flowfiles 
held being processed.  MergeContent is a common processor that would do this 
but others certainly can.  What processor do you have there?

If you stop the target processor then delete it should always work though you 
generally should not need to do so but normally deleting queue content is a 
debug thing so you can.

Thanks

Any idea what is happening here?

Just to add to what Joe said, in the screenshot the queue that you’re listing 
shows that blue load balancing icon, meaning that it is actively load 
balancing. The listing will not include any FlowFiles that are queued up to 
move to another node. So on a connection like that where it’s actively load 
balancing you may not be able to view the contents.

Thanks

Empty Queue - but UI shows messages

[Joe Obernberger]

Hi - I'm using NiFi 1.18.0 in a three node cluster using internal 
zookeeper.  Occasionally, I will see a queue showing queued messages, 
but when I list the queue, the UI says that there are no flow files.  
Also the consumer of this queue seems to be idle.  I can then empty the 
queue and it reports that n messages were deleted.


Any idea what is happening here?
