Hi Koji, I tried to play with the NIFI REST API with chrome postman app,
when you mentioned about restart the processor via REST API, did you mean
first sending stop command and then send start command via the API "PUT
/processors/{id}"? By the way, when I send the stop command to the
processor, will it finish its work
and then stop the processor or will it simply kill the task directly?
Thanks.Regards, Ben 2017-07-14 15:13 GMT+08:00 尹文才 <batman...@gmail.com>: > Thanks Koji, I checked the NIFI REST API and it seems that I need to use > Groovy to do it(I don't understand Groovy), is there any Java related > examples which interact with NIFI via REST API?
