Computes cache key(s) from FlowFile attributes, for each incoming FlowFile, and fetches the value(s) from the Distributed Map Cache associated with each key. If configured without a destination attribute, the incoming FlowFile's content is replaced with the binary data received by the Distributed Map Cache. If there is no value stored under that key then the flow file will be routed to 'not-found'. Note that the processor will always attempt to read the entire cached value into memory before placing it in it's destination. This could be potentially problematic if the cached value is very large.

In the list below, the names of required properties appear in bold. Any other properties (not in bold) are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, and whether a property supports the NiFi Expression Language.
| Display Name | API Name | Default Value | Allowable Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cache Entry Identifier | Cache Entry Identifier | ${hash.value} | A comma-delimited list of FlowFile attributes, or the results of Attribute Expression Language statements, which will be evaluated against a FlowFile in order to determine the value(s) used to identify duplicates; it is these values that are cached. NOTE: Only a single Cache Entry Identifier is allowed unless Put Cache Value In Attribute is specified. Multiple cache lookups are only supported when the destination is a set of attributes (see the documentation for 'Put Cache Value In Attribute' for more details including naming convention. Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry) | |
| Distributed Cache Service | Distributed Cache Service | Controller Service API: DistributedMapCacheClient Implementations: RedisDistributedMapCacheClientService HazelcastMapCacheClient DistributedMapCacheClientService HBase_1_1_2_ClientMapCacheService HBase_2_ClientMapCacheService CassandraDistributedMapCache CouchbaseMapCacheClient | The Controller Service that is used to get the cached values. | |
| Put Cache Value In Attribute | Put Cache Value In Attribute | If set, the cache value received will be put into an attribute of the FlowFile instead of a the content of theFlowFile. The attribute key to put to is determined by evaluating value of this property. If multiple Cache Entry Identifiers are selected, multiple attributes will be written, using the evaluated value of this property, appended by a period (.) and the name of the cache entry identifier. Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry) | ||
| Max Length To Put In Attribute | Max Length To Put In Attribute | 256 | If routing the cache value to an attribute of the FlowFile (by setting the "Put Cache Value in attribute" property), the number of characters put to the attribute value will be at most this amount. This is important because attributes are held in memory and large attributes will quickly cause out of memory issues. If the output goes longer than this value, it will be truncated to fit. Consider making this smaller if able. | |
| Character Set | Character Set | UTF-8 | The Character Set in which the cached value is encoded. This will only be used when routing to an attribute. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| success | If the cache was successfully communicated with it will be routed to this relationship |
| failure | If unable to communicate with the cache or if the cache entry is evaluated to be blank, the FlowFile will be penalized and routed to this relationship |
| not-found | If a FlowFile's Cache Entry Identifier was not found in the cache, it will be routed to this relationship |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| user-defined | If the 'Put Cache Value In Attribute' property is set then whatever it is set to will become the attribute key and the value would be whatever the response was from the Distributed Map Cache. If multiple cache entry identifiers are selected, multiple attributes will be written, using the evaluated value of this property, appended by a period (.) and the name of the cache entry identifier. For example, if the Cache Entry Identifier property is set to 'id,name', and the user-defined property is named 'fetched', then two attributes will be written, fetched.id and fetched.name, containing their respective values. |
