Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-1074:
-----------------------------------

Ultimately what this ticket is about from my perspective is to always be 
helping make it easier for developers to build extensions in NiFi.  This 
concept of 'nifi-externals' is the right location for such a thing I think.  It 
is, however, very true that keeping such a thing maintained is non-trivial.

It is also probably the case that for something like this we're desiring a 
lower level of governance and it isn't really meant to be a released thing so 
much as it is to help one build for/on NiFi.  For something like this I can see 
how Github is an ideal place.  We could presumably link to that from our Apache 
NiFi site.  That too, however, has some drawbacks.  Where do we draw the line 
on what we link to vs what we dont?

Oleg's ticket and submission does address a very specific need that has been 
stated recently and in the past.  That is a plus.  I'm more in favor of 
offering something for this in the 'nifi-external' space and we can learn more 
about whether we have to do more, whether it lives here, and what we can do 
about the maintenance version.

Thanks
Joe
