> Whenever a NiFi instance syncs its flow with the cluster flow, it detects any differences between the flows and then uses this to determine which components must be stopped/disabled in order to apply updates.
> However, the StandardFlowComparator does not decrypt values before comparing them. Since the encryption algorithm used will produce a different value each time, the encrypted values cannot be simply compared to one another. They must be decrypted first.
> As a result, any Processor or Controller Service that references a sensitive parameter will be stopped/disabled each time that NiFi is synchronized to a cluster flow.
