[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-1307) Un-deprecate FlowFile.getId()

["Mark Payne (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1307?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15064171#comment-15064171 ] 

Mark Payne commented on NIFI-1307:
----------------------------------

Actually, now I am remembering that there are two reasons that we deprecated it - NIFI-334 was also a bug that indicated that getId() was not always unique, as it could potentially be duplicated on restart (though unlikely, it is possible). So we should leave this deprecated for now.

A better strategy may be to use a time-based UUID for the flowfiles, which would provide us with the same general idea here. For the mean-time, we will leave this deprecated and simply use the deprecated method for 1279, as the bug described here will - at worst - result in the solution provided for NIFI-1279 to be only as effective as it is currently (before the 1279 patch is applied).

> In 0.4.0, we deprecated the getId() method of FlowFile because it was no longer being used in any substantive way. However, we have found a bug in same of the Prioritizers (address in NIFI-1279) that is being addressed by using this method.
