---------------------------------
Summary: Document the 'What if I change...' aspects of processor
evolution
Key: NIFI-1053
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1053
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation & Website
Reporter: Alan Jackoway
Fix For: 0.4.0
Alan brought up a strong point on the dev thread. That is basically that it is
unclear today or not well documented what the mindset for a developer
can/should be or a user can/should be in the presence of a variety of scenarios
of processor/extension changes. The questions that follow are oriented around
processors. But we must do this for all extension types.
But I agree with you that we should make this a fully documented concept in the
developer guide (so they know what they can/cannot do) and possibly the user
guide (so they know what was done to them). We need to cover at least:
- I want to change the processor class name
- I want to change the processor package name
- I want to add processor relationships
- I want to remove processor relationships
- I want to add processor properties
- I want to remove processor properties
- I want to change a required property to optional
- I want to change an optional property to required
- I want to change the display name of a property
- I want to change the behavior of a processor that could have different side
effects despite the same configuration
