Matt Burgess created NIFI-1290:
----------------------------------
Summary: Document the need for an explicit Validator for a
PropertyDescriptor
Key: NIFI-1290
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1290
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation & Website
Reporter: Matt Burgess
If a PropertyDescriptor (for a Processor) does not explicitly define a
Validator, it is assumed invalid. This is ensure the developer knows that
custom validation is necessary for added properties.
The current doc (as of 0.4.0) says the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------
A PropertyDescriptor may specify one or more Validators that can be
used to ensure that the user-entered value
for a property is valid. If a Validator indicates that a property
value is invalid, the Component will not be
able to be run or used until the property becomes valid.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Propose the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------
A PropertyDescriptor MUST specify one or more Validators that can be
used to ensure that the user-entered value
for a property is valid. If a Validator indicates that a property
value is invalid, the Component will not be
able to be run or used until the property becomes valid. If you do not
specify a Validator, the Component will be assumed invalid and NiFi
will report that the property is not supported.
