Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-1461:
-----------------------------------
[~trixpan] So took some time to work through my thoughts on this. I share your
view that we should strive to provide the correct level of access and no more.
It is my understanding actually that we're pretty close already frankly. I'd
also point out that this change is a step in the right direction as James
points out this makes it default mode to start NiFi as a non-root user.
I do, however, feel as though the suggested concerns are not the scope of this
ticket at this stage. I would recommend you please create a ticket for the
next release and obviously I'd be happy to help review and validate that for
inclusion as would many others. Holding this particular step forward back on
the basis of something that was true before it (there was already an RPM) seems
too strong.
I'd like to honor the effort and clear step forward that this JIRA represents
and get it merged in for the 0.5.0 release. However, if you feel otherwise
will move it to 0.6.0 so this perceived issue has more time for discussion.
Thanks
Joe
