   # Summary
   
   [NIFI-10622](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10622)
   
   Following the problem in the issue **NIFI-10622**, I looked through the test code and find that the checksum calculated by test peer is hard coded as "3057746557" in testTransferTwoFiles():
   ``` java
   // Commit transaction        
   final int flowFileSent = serverProtocol.commitTransferTransaction(peer, "3058746557"); 
   ```
   Therefore, the problem must be caused by the other peer, where the checksum is calculated as another value.
   
   Then, I dived into the codes where the checksum is calculated and found that this non-deterministic problem is caused by
   ```java
   // module: nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-framework-bundle/nifi-framework/nifi-site-to-site
   // file: remote/protocol/AbstractFlowFileServerProtocol.java
   final DataPacket dataPacket = new StandardDataPacket(toSend.getAttributes(), in, toSend.getSize());
   ```
   since the determination of `getAttributed()` is:
   ```java
   public Map<String, String> getAttributes() {
       return Collections.unmodifiableMap(this.attributes);
   }
   ```
   and the order of elements return by it is non-deterministic.
   
   To minimize the influence, I sort the elements after retrieving them and store them in `LinkedHashMap`:
   ```java
   LinkedHashMap<String, String> attributes = new LinkedHashMap<>();
   String[] keySet = toSend.getAttributes().keySet().toArray(new String[0]);
   Arrays.sort(keySet);
   for(String key: keySet){
       attributes.put(key, toSend.getAttributes().get(key));
   }
   final DataPacket dataPacket = new StandardDataPacket(attributes, in, toSend.getSize());
   ```
   In this case, the checksum will always be calculated as `4171232842`. So I changed the checksum in the test case to this value.
   
   Since the rest of the flaky tests mentioned in the issue are all based on `testSendLargeFile`, I fix them by modifying the checksum `1527414060` to `2387509971`.
   
   Finally, these tests are not flaky and can pass NonDex's check.

Review Comment:
   This approach effectively makes an additional copy of the attributes prior to transmission, which introduces some inefficiency when sending packets. It would be better to evaluate the initial attribute storage in the FlowFile implementation, as opposed to making this change.

   Yes, sorry I'm still working on finding the root cause of this problem. I would appreciate it if you could give me more time on it.

Review Comment:
   Thank you for your suggestion! Your concern is reasonable which I haven't thought about. I would make more effort to try fixing it by replacing the initial storage of attributes from HashMap to LinkedHashMap. And you are right that since it's a low-level change that may widely influence the entire module, we still need to do more evaluation on whether to change it or just let it remain the original way.

   @Kerr0220 in the process of working through others changes for NIFI-10928 in PR #6748, the non-deterministic issue with this particular test class has been resolved, so this particular PR can be closed. Thanks again for pointing out the concern.
