Thanks @apiri, I'll try and update a few of the descriptions to make things
more clear and upload a new patch. Cheers

>
> Riemann (http://riemann.io) is a new framework for monitoring distributed
> systems. It's particular useful for sending ad-hoc events such as, heartbeats
> and metrics. It would be nice if NiFi had a PutRiemann processor for writing
> events using the NiFi expression language.
> A simple use case would be a data flow that repeatedly checks specific
> services over TCP, HTTP, etc and checks into Riemann. Another example would
> be detecting a blip in events coming down a stream using a simple event
> heartbeat mechanism. I'll post a couple visuals to help make these examples
> more concrete.
> I have an initial PutRiemann processor made. I will post the patch via a
> Github pull request later today.
