Oleg Zhurakousky commented on MINIFI-218:
-----------------------------------------
[~jskora] I must be missing something. I do see how such processors can be
useful in pervasive devices (target area of Minify) that move around all the
time, (as long as satellite is "visible"). Not sure though what use would one
get out of them in the data center with known and never changing location and
probably out of reach of satellites.
> Create GetGPS processor for acquiring GPS coordinates

>
> GPSD is a popular framework for interacting with a multitude of GPS devices.
> It drastically simplifies the interaction with vendor specific GPS devices by
> providing a daemon service which communicates with the device, converts the
> raw NMEA 0183 sentences into JSON objects, and then emits those JSON objects
> over a socket for 0-N downstream devices to consume.
> This feature would create a GetGPS processor that would listen to a running
> instance of GPSD as one of those downstream consumers. The processor would
> provide integration with the GPSD daemon to accept the JSON objects and
> create new flowfiles for each of the JSON objects received.
