[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-44) Do not allow users to configure the swap directory

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-44?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14261515#comment-14261515 ] 

Mark Payne commented on NIFI-44:
--------------------------------

Allowing the user to configure this is undesirable because often when the FlowFile Repository's directory is changed, the swap directory is not. This results in swapping files out to ./flowfile_repository/swap, while the flowfile repo is stored else. Then, when migrating to a new version, the swap files are often lost, resulting in loss of the FlowFiles. This fix will instead always store the swap directory within the flowfile repo (which is the default now) so that this will not occur.
