Description

We have some issues with the InvokeHTTP process. It "randomly" hangs in the process without timing out. The processor shows that there are 1 task running (upper right corner) and it can runs for hours without any outputs, but with multiply flowfiles in the queue.
Trying to stop it takes forever so I have to terminate it. restart the processor and everything works fine for a long time. until next time it hangs.

Our configuration of the process is as follow:
Penalty: 30s, Yield: 1s,
Scheduling: timer driven, Concurrent Task: 1, Run Schedule: 0, Run duration: 0
HTTP Method: GET
Connection timeout: 5s
Read timeout: 15s
Idle Timeout: 5m
Max idle Connection: 5

I could not find any other bug reports here. but there are other people metion same issues:
