--------------------------------
Summary: Create toy/experimental processors to aid in learning
Key: NIFI-101
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-101
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Joseph Witt
Priority: Trivial
It will be ideal to provide good 'use-anywhere' processors to allow users to
easily setup dataflows anywhere on madeup data both for learning how to command
and control nifi as well as design/implementation patterns for building
processors.
Two potentially good examples here are:
- Processor(s) to interact with IRC (sending/receiving)
One approach: A single processor which both sends and receives data from a
given IRC channel. The user can configure the IRC host, username, password,
channel, etc... The connection then is held open and the processor will
produce an output flow file for every message received in the IRC channel which
will have as attributes the message content, sender, time, etc.. That same
processor can also read flow files from its queue which contain message text in
an attribute. In this manner the processor can support bidirectional
interaction with IRC.
Would then also be interesting to make it really easy for a user to generate a
message via the UI as well as easily to consume a message via the UI. These
could be very generic processors/widgets for creation/consumption and good for
these sorts of cases.
There are active IRC channels which are great for demonstration of relatively
active datastreams. Weather updates, Wikipedia updates, etc...
- Processor(s) to interact with RSS/Atom
This would allow subscription to specific feeds of interest to generate
test/variable data. RSS/Atom requires keeping some state which is also an
interesting problem to think through.
