Joe Skora commented on MINIFI-218:
----------------------------------
[~ozhurakousky] the discussion of NiFi on Rapsberry Pi's for IOT data
collection began before MiNiFi began.
I can think of laptop based data collection use cases on the data flow
front-end that could benefit from mobility and GPS capture. I admit that these
are less enterprise and big data situations, but supporting this allows users
familiar with NiFi to also leverage it for mobile data collection in
disciplines like environmental, atmospheric, and engineering sciences just like
they use it for integrated analytic flows on server based platforms.

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Jeremy Dyer
> Assignee: Jeremy Dyer
>
> 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.
