Ah I see, could you just add a comment above these two "optional" calls
explaining that?
> Maintainable Configuration Versioning

> Key: MINIFI-117
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFI-117
> Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Bryan Rosander
> Assignee: Bryan Rosander
>
> In order to avoid a tangled web of if/else statements around every possible
> permutation of config.yml and an equally complicated validation routine, we
> need to utilize a versioning strategy that allows for specific parsing and
> validation code for each version of the ConfigSchema.
> This will allow us to determine if a schema will be compatible with an older
> MiNiFi instance more easily by validating the structure of the file at a
> given version while still supporting an upconvert on read to the latest
> ConfigSchema while parsing at runtime.
> It should also facilitate a deprecation strategy of removing older versions'
> classes without needing to touch current implementation
