Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
org.apache.nifi.provenance.lineage.LineageNode.getClusterNodeIdentifier()
org.apache.nifi.flowfile.FlowFile.getId() This method has been deprecated in favor of using the attribute CoreAttributes.UUID. If an identifier is needed use FlowFile.getAttribute(String) to retrieve the value for this attribute. For example, by calling getAttribute(CoreAttributes.UUID.getKey()).
org.apache.nifi.flowfile.FlowFile.getLineageIdentifiers() this collection was erroneously unbounded and caused a lot of OutOfMemoryError problems when dealing with FlowFiles with many ancestors. This Collection is now capped at 100 lineage identifiers. This method was introduced with the idea of providing future performance improvements but due to the high cost of heap consumption will not be used in such a manner. As a result, this method will be removed in a future release.
org.apache.nifi.provenance.ProvenanceEventRecord.getLineageIdentifiers() this collection was erroneously unbounded and caused a lot of OutOfMemoryError problems when querying Provenance Events about FlowFiles with many ancestors. This Collection is now capped at 100 lineage identifiers. This method was introduced with the idea of providing future performance improvements but due to the high cost of heap consumption will not be used in such a manner. As a result, this method will be removed in a future release.
org.apache.nifi.controller.AbstractControllerService.getProperties() will be removed. Instead use config context as passed to OnEnabled annotated methods
org.apache.nifi.controller.AbstractControllerService.getProperty(PropertyDescriptor) will be removed. Instead use config context as passed to OnEnabled annotated methods
org.apache.nifi.web.NiFiWebRequestContext.getProxiedEntitiesChain()
org.apache.nifi.web.NiFiWebContextConfig.getProxiedEntitiesChain()
org.apache.nifi.controller.AbstractControllerService.onConfigurationChange(ConfigurationContext) When methods annotated with OnEnabled are called the config context is supplied
