Andre F de Miranda commented on NIFI-11:
----------------------------------------
Matt,
wouldn't rolling back cause the "defective" flowfile to keep being retried? I
would imagine it would be better if we routed to Failure and moved on?
Having data we know is faulty bouncing at the same processor doesn't seem like
a good idea?
> UpdateAttribute should penalize & roll back FlowFiles for which Expression
> Language fails to evaluate

> For example, if using ${filename:substring(1, 20)} and the filename is only
> 15 characters, this will throw an Exception, which causes UpdateAttribute to
> yield and not penalize the FlowFile. Instead, it should catch this Exception
> and rollback with penalization and NOT yield, as this is a problem with the
> data, not a problem with the processor's ability to function at this moment.
