Hi all, Looks like this didn't get to the top of anyone's priority list over the holiday week, since the Jira<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2168>, the Wiki page<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/External+Repositories+%28aka+Extension+Registry%29+for+Dynamically-loaded+Extensions> and this Mail thread have all been quiet.
If you don't have time to look at the code, that's absolutely okay, but Sections 5 and 6 of the Wiki page?<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/External+Repositories+%28aka+Extension+Registry%29+for+Dynamically-loaded+Extensions#ExternalRepositories(akaExtensionRegistry)forDynamically-loadedExtensions-5.UseCases> are only about one page of reading total, and we would really appreciate a couple +1's to say it's okay to proceed with this basic approach. Please? :-) Thanks, --Matt and Puspendu ________________________________________ From: Matt Foley <mfo...@hortonworks.com> Sent: Sunday, July 03, 2016 3:27 PM To: dev@nifi.apache.org Subject: Re: External Repositories (aka Extension Registry) for Dynamically-loaded Extensions That would be great. Even though the prototype impl is incomplete, it's actually about 30%-50% done, if the approach is acceptable to you, the community. We could easily finish it in a reasonable timeframe for the release after 1.0, and we're interested in doing so.
