Tried increasing the memory after seeing following forum.

But issue is not getting resolved. Can anyone help
>Solution :
I think this is an issue reported in older version and seems like fixed in nifi 1.13.0
You can refer following JIRA ticket.
This issue will happen if you are using flowfile with large data. You have to either clean up the flowfile or you need to upgrade to 1.13.0 version before upgrading to latest version.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6999
Note : If you are not upgrading then you can clean some of the nifi templates mannually in nifi UI and make less size for flowfile.xml.gz if its applicable. Then we can upgrade to higher.
