All,

   As an initial dive into nifi i elected to take a stab at NIFI-3641
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3641> (in particular, the
site-to-site bit), but i've got a few high level questions before taking
off down a path.

   Would it be more desirable to have a gRPC site-to-site mechanism or the
ability to generally interact with external gRPC services, such as tensor
flow, in a processor? That might help guide the approach I take in
addressing the issue. I'm not entirely sure it's possible to do both with
the same solution since the current site-to-site API assumes the other end
is a nifi. On top of that, gRPC provides a number of load balancing, remote
gRPC server (i.e. peer) selection, and serialization mechanisms that the
current site-to-site implementation does itself.

   What i'm looking for here are some thoughts and/or guidance on a
recommended approach and intended goal.

Thanks,
Mike
