>             Project: Apache NiFi
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.13.0
>            Reporter: Tamas Palfy
>            Assignee: Tamas Palfy
>            Priority: Major
>             Fix For: 1.13.0
>
>          Time Spent: 20m

> In TailFile when REREAD_ON_NUL is set to 'true' and a NUL character is encountered, the processor aborts all processing and yields to try again later.
> However the opened FileChannel is not stored in the states. Because of this the reader is not cleaned up later.
> On Windows this prevents from deleting the tailed file. (On linux it seems the file still can be deleted. Leaving open the FileChannel is not good nonetheless.)
> Fix: Store the reader in the states.
