Joseph Percivall commented on NIFI-1053:
----------------------------------------
Comparatively, that is a pretty in depth ticket that will touch everything from
the core framework to the UI. If you're up to it then that would be awesome!
This ticket is just documentation to educate users on what they can expect when
changing different aspects of a processor and redeploying.
> Document the 'What if I change...' aspects of processor evolution

> 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
