Mark Payne commented on NIFI-259:
---------------------------------
[~joewitt] - yes that is accurate. Unfortunately, since this is a branch that
had multiple people working on it, it needed to be a remote branch and so git's
rebase was having trouble. We needed to merge in 'master' to make sure that
things were kept in sync, since master had changed quite a bit. So it would be
quite difficult to generate a single Patch. There are probably better ways of
handling this, but my git-foo leaves some to be desired, I think.
> Framework should offer Processors/extensions a way to manage simple state

>
> It is not uncommon for processors to need managed state which persists
> across restarts. One good example of this is the GetHTTP processor which
> needs to save state of the last cache/e-tag information it received from the
> server it interacts with so that it can avoid constantly pulling an unchanged
> resource.
> Rather than making processors roll their own persistant state management
> perhaps we can offer something to them via the ProcessContext which will
> allow them to save simple primitive values and limited length Strings which
> are local to that node and which are local to that processor only.
