NIFI-12918 Fix Stateless NullPointerException on versioned sub-process groups - 1.x support branch #8572
Conversation
The storageLocation property is the entire path. The root/base url needs to be set for registryUrl in order for the JerseyClient to make the correct call to the registry api.
Okay, I'm trying one more solution. What I've found is that the main branch has new code where a "registryId" is implemented, but it is always null right now because the registry-api does not currently supply a "registryId" property value. The 1.x support branch does not have this new class. I submitted the fix in the PR to the main branch, but for 1.x, I have something working in the temporary until the changes from 2.0 are pushed down to 1.x (if they are going to do that). |
Okay, so after some back and forth here is my final conclusion to this bug: I've submitted two PRs Here is what's happening. If you run a versioned stateless flow that has sub-versioned progress group, there is a NullPointerException thrown on the build method of StandardVersionControlInformation where there is a non-null requirement on "registryId". Code has changed in main versus support/1.x, but the bug exists on both. What I've found is the JerseyClient calls that are made to map the response from the registry-api back to the higher level VersionedProcessGroup -> VersionedFlowCoordinates both return JSON where the VersionedFlowCoordinates > registryId is always null. Now in the main branch, stateless uses some of these new "synchronizer" classes, so the best place to insert a solution is to add an else on the null check where the code runs the "determineRegistryId" method and set the value to "1" for versioned flows that do not have a registryId associated to them. Doing this passes all of the integration tests and code checks and fixes the bug. Since this class does not exist in the 1.x support branch, my best solution is to just comment out the null check (this breaks integration tests in main, but not in 1.x). I continued to look further at this idea of a "registryId" within the registry api code. The GET method on buckets/flow/version returns the same class that the stateless code uses to map into on the JerseyClient call. I then looked at the api code to POST new versioned flows, and it also expect the json as a parameter to match the same class. Well, since there is no "non-null" requirement on the registryId, versioned flows are stored in the database (or whichever storage adapter used) with this property as null. I did not check to see if the latest NiFi Registry UI is now setting this property, but making it non-null would break any older version of registry and not be backwards compatible. Therefore, the only solution at this point to fix stateless NiFi in its current state is to just set registryId to "1" if it is null. I believe this code is still probably prototype being worked and evolving, so this will be a temporary fix until those mandates are in place on a concept of "registryId". |

Thanks @slambrose, I backported the changes from #8536 and merged the update in 0e920c4 |
