             Summary: If NiFi process is killed, bootstrap auto-restart hangs on missing sensitive key file
                 Key: NIFI-4187
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4187
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
            Reporter: Andy LoPresto
            Priority: Critical


If the NiFi process is killed and {{autoRestart}} is enabled in the bootstrap process ({{RunNiFi.java}}) (enabled by default except when in {{run}} mode) and the instance is using encrypted configuration files, the {{sensitive.key}} file which contains the master encryption key is no longer available when restart occurs. This results in the application exiting. 

To resolve this, the logic to prepare and generate the sensitive key file should be extracted to a method and invoked during initial start *and* during the auto-restart loop at https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/master/nifi-bootstrap/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/bootstrap/RunNiFi.java#L1159 .
