The change sounds pretty safe to me and I wouldn't expect the WAL to be public. I agree that the public API needs to be well defined, though, because that's really how this should be decided.

Ryan,

The WAL is certainly not defined in the nifi-api. But it does live in the nifi-commons 
module. Not entirely sure if i would consider it "public" or not.

My suggestion is to change the package name for the 0.3.0 release, which is a 
minor version.

Thanks

Is the WAL a public API? I thought that it was internal, in which case a
rename should be fine. Otherwise we would have to bump the major version
number (or minor depending on discussion) to account for the change.

Hello,

I recently realized that the nifi-write-ahead-log module (under nifi-commons) is using a package 
name of "org.wali" instead of "org.apache.nifi.wal"

This has been the package name since the software was open sourced, 
unfortunately. I would like to change the package name for the 0.3.0 version of 
NiFi, if there are no objections.

The pre-0.3.0 versions would, of course, still be available if anyone has a 
dependency on the classes, but I would like to get this fixed so that it is 
correct going forward.

Is there any reason that we cannot change this for the 0.3.0 release?

Thanks
-Mark
