Sometime what happens that Producer system is faster than consumer system. Hence, the messages which are consumed is slower. Hence, all the messages (FlowFiles) which are not being processed will remain in the connection buffer. However, you can limit the connection backpressure size either based on number of FlowFiles or number of data size. If it reaches to defined limit, connection will give back pressure to producer processor not run. Hence, no more FlowFiles generated, until backpressure is reduced.
