[GitHub] nifi issue #2959: NIFI-5540 Provide default `nifi.sensitive.props.key` value...

Github user alopresto commented on the issue:

    https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/2959
  
    As discovered by @bbende , I introduced a bug in my commit [f60585a](https://github.com/apache/nifi/commit/f60585a9b6df6b3b28be1eb80a0a60deac6c0493#diff-882d0904bb315ac8a455aec69e6d44d8) as part of [PR 2841](https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/2841) for [NIFI-5376](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5376) which stops cluster startup if no `nifi.sensitive.props.key` value is entered in `nifi.properties`. Previously, a default static value is used (all docs indicate this should *not* be relied on and a custom, unique value should be provided at deployment time), but this is an unintentional regression and was not documented. 
    
    This fix prints a warning to the log if no value is provided but restores the previous functionality of using the default.
