Thanks Andre, you mean the slow startup of NiFi secure cluster on openstack
currently could be remedied by updating bootstrap.conf to instruct NiFi to
use */dev/urandom, I will give it a try tomorrow. By the way, NiFi starts
up very slow in standalone mode as well when deployed on openstack
environment, according to my test, I had deployed a single fresh NiFi
node(non-secure) on openstack and it took around 7 minutes to get up. Do
you have any ideas of this problem?*
