Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-309:
----------------------------------
Re #1) Ah ok. Dan talked about this up a few messages from here. He is
looking ahead to what Java 8 allows which is multiple occurrences of these at
the root level. That would be nice because this container thing isn't really
needed then. In that case you don't want an unqualified 'Attribute'.
So with that in mind one approach though is to just lean into how it works now.
We have this container of 'ReadsAttributes' and it contains Attributes.
Decision is whether to make it repetitive now because when we move to requiring
Java 8 we can use a more concise form or whether to make it more concise now
and just stick with that.
Thanks

> Support additional documentation annotations

> Key: NIFI-309
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-309
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework, Documentation & Website
> Affects Versions: 0.0.1
> Reporter: Dan Bress
> Assignee: Dan Bress
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Additional documentation only annotations should be added to better describe
> ConfigurableComponents. These annotations are:
> DynamicProperties - this would indicate whether a component supports dynamic
> properties or not, and provides a description. This could be used by the UI
> to determine whether or not to allow dynamic properties. It could also be
> reflected in the documentation.
> DynamicRelationships - this would indicate whether a component has dynamic
> relationships, like RouteOnAttribute and DistributeLoad do. This could be
> reflected in the documentation.
> ReadsAttribute - indicates what attributes a Processor reads certain FlowFile
> attributes on incoming FlowFiles. This would be reflected in the
> documentation.
> WritesAttribute - indicates what attributes a Processor creates on outgoing
> FlowFile attributes. This would be reflected in the documentation.
> SeeAlso - Provides a mechanism to link one configurable component to another.
> E.g. PutFile & GetFile. This would be used in the documentation.
