Joseph Percivall commented on NIFI-1053:
----------------------------------------
[[email protected]] it is definitely still valid but I don't believe
anyone is working on it. I had wanted to get around to it but got busy with
other developments. If anyone has some bandwidth to tackle this, that would be
awesome.
> Document the 'What if I change...' aspects of processor evolution

> Key: NIFI-1053

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation & Website
> Reporter: Alan Jackoway

> Alan brought up a strong point on the dev thread. That is basically that it
> is unclear today or not well documented what the mindset for a developer
> can/should be or a user can/should be in the presence of a variety of
> scenarios of processor/extension changes. The questions that follow are
> oriented around processors. But we must do this for all extension types.
> But I agree with you that we should make this a fully documented concept in
> the developer guide (so they know what they can/cannot do) and possibly the
> user guide (so they know what was done to them). We need to cover at least:
> - I want to change the processor class name
> - I want to change the processor package name
> - I want to add processor relationships
> - I want to remove processor relationships
> - I want to add processor properties
> - I want to remove processor properties
> - I want to change a required property to optional
> - I want to change an optional property to required
> - I want to change the display name of a property
> - I want to change the behavior of a processor that could have different side
> effects despite the same configuration
