Paresh, Currently, the definition of a Remote Process Group (inputs/outputs, etc) is driven by the instance running at the target URI. They are modeled both visually and structurally after local Process Groups. They allow one NiFi instance to communicate with another as though it was a local Process Group. In trying to keep as consistent as possible with local Process Groups changing the target URI was never implemented. It's certainly a valid use case as we already offer changing the target URI for various *Http Processors as well as changing available relationships for various RouteOn* Processors. I've created a JIRA [1] for adding this capability.
Your comments about deployment into different environments is something that we will be addressing with the variable registry [2]. This will allow users to define variables which could be referenced in various locations throughout the application.
