Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-238:
----------------------------------
Ryan
I am not too familiar with Kite just yet so forgive the ignorance here. Will
learn more about it though as it sounds interesting.
But in terms of processor design would it be feasible to simply transform the
FlowFile content from what it was to some Kite formatted/output? Then the
existing Hadoop processors could be used to do their normal HDFS loading.
In this way the processor would be more cohesive (doing one thing -
transformation ) well.
Also if you did this would you still need to extend from the
AbstractHadoopProcessor? If so we will want to pull that out of the processor
jar. It isn't really intended that folks would pull in processors as a
dependency when building their own. That would create copies of those
processors in different nars and thus make it unclear at startup which will be
loaded. NiFi will detect it and warn but it will still be confusing for the
user. So, no problem though as we'd just encourage that if there are
'library'-like aspects that those be pulled out intoo a library-style jar.
Thanks
