> I have a nifi instance that I have been running for about a week and has deadlocked at least 3 times during this time. When I say deadlock the whole nifi instance stops doing any progress on flowfiles. I looked at the stack trace and there are a lot of threads stuck doing tasks in the PersistentProvenanceRepository. Looking at the code I think this is what is happening:
> There is a ReadWriteLock that all the reads are waiting for a write. The write is in the loop:
> {code}
> while (journalFileCount > journalCountThreshold || repoSize > sizeThreshold) {
> // if a shutdown happens while we are in this loop, kill the rollover thread and break
> if (this.closed.get()) {
> if (future != null) {
> future.cancel(true);
> }
> break;
> }
> if (repoSize > sizeThreshold) {
> logger.debug("Provenance Repository has exceeded its size threshold; will trigger purging of oldest events");
> purgeOldEvents();
> journalFileCount = getJournalCount();
> repoSize = getSize(getLogFiles(), 0L);
> continue;
> } else {
> // if we are constrained by the number of journal files rather than the size of the repo,
> // then we will just sleep a bit because another thread is already actively merging the journals,
> // due to the runnable that we scheduled above
> try {
> Thread.sleep(100L);
> } catch (final InterruptedException ie) {
> }
> }
> logger.debug("Provenance Repository is still behind. Keeping flow slowed down "
> + "to accommodate. Currently, there are {} journal files ({} bytes) and "
> + "threshold for blocking is {} ({} bytes)", journalFileCount, repoSize, journalCountThreshold, sizeThreshold);
> journalFileCount = getJournalCount();
> repoSize = getSize(getLogFiles(), 0L);
> }
> logger.info("Provenance Repository has now caught up with rolling over journal files. Current number of "
> + "journal files to be rolled over is {}", journalFileCount);
> }
> {code}
> My nifi is at the sleep indefinitely. The reason my nifi cannot move forward is because of the thread doing the merge is stopped. The thread doing the merge is at:
> {code}
> accepted = eventQueue.offer(new Tuple<>(record, blockIndex), 10, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
> {code}
> so the queue is full.
> What I believe happened is that the callables created here:
> {code}
> final Callable<Object> callable = new Callable<Object>() {
> @Override
> public Object call() throws IOException {
> while (!eventQueue.isEmpty() || !finishedAdding.get()) {
> final Tuple<StandardProvenanceEventRecord, Integer> tuple;
> try {
> tuple = eventQueue.poll(10, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
> } catch (final InterruptedException ie) {
> continue;
> }
> if (tuple == null) {
> continue;
> }
> indexingAction.index(tuple.getKey(), indexWriter, tuple.getValue());
> }
> return null;
> }
> {code}
> finish before the offer adds its first event because I do not see any Index Provenance Events threads. My guess is the while loop condition is wrong and should be && instead of ||.
> I upped the thread count for the index creation from 1 to 3 to see if that helps. I can tell you if that helps later this week.
