Andrew Christianson commented on MINIFI-219:
--------------------------------------------
[~jeremy.dyer] How would you implement a general mechanism to format the
messages? Wouldn't it depend heavily on the type of device? I.e.
scales/temperature might output a flow of floating point values, but each
sensor probably has its own drivers and protocols. It seems like there would be
too many possibilities to make something general.

> LibUSB is a popular framework for interacting with USB devices on host
> machines. The spirit of this processor will be the periodically pull data
> from USB devices connected to the host running the minifi c++ instance. This
> processor is not intended to interact with filesystem connected devices but
> rather more sensor focused devices like, scales, temperature, etc where those
> values change periodically and have context around the time the values were
> acquired. The processor will expose a general mechanism to format the
> messages received from the USB device and introduce those messages to the
> nifi flowfile
