Randy Gelhausen commented on NIFI-1508:
---------------------------------------
I still think a diagram in the site-to-site docs would be very helpful.
The specific context of the ask is in a discussion about the NiFi->Spark
Streaming site2site integration, it wasn't clear that using a single nifi
node's address would automatically cause a Spark Streaming job to connect to
and pull data from the rest of the NiFi nodes in the cluster.
Should this JIRA be re-opened or do we need another JIRA?

> These docs are a good start. But they would benefit from some images which
> help users understand setup more and config pointers for admins who have to
> set it up. The admin guide refers to site-to-site but there is no
> explanation of what it is. Perhaps it deserves its own document - not sure.
> A related issue is that the first sentence about site-to-site mentions
> instance to instance which can imply a node-to-node thing which obviously
> doesn't sound very scalable. Need to rewrite that to better articulate the
> value proposition and inherent scalability and load balanced and auto-failed
> over behavior of site-to-site.
