             Summary: Remove VolatileContentRepository
                 Key: NIFI-9823
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9823
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Framework
            Reporter: David Handermann
            Assignee: David Handermann


The {{VolatileContentRepository}} implementation of the Content Repository interface supports storing FlowFile content claims in heap memory without writing to a file system. Although this capability has potential uses, the implementation is not optimal, and the repository itself has been broken for several releases. Several framework updates to content claim processing result in expected behavior when using the {{{}VolatileContentRepository{}}}, leading to problems that can be difficult to troubleshoot. For these reasons, the current {{VolatileContentRepository}} and associated documentation should be removed from future releases.

Future efforts to support a similar capabilities may build on NiFi Stateless functionality, and those efforts can be addressed in separate issues.
