Vincent, Embedded NiFi still has a long ways to go to be really useful, in my opinion; and I don't know if anyone is actively working on those improvements.
The PR Andy mentioned simply allows you to startup NiFi inside your process instead of running it directly from a startup script, but that doesn't mean you magically have access to all of NiFi's internals (someone can correct me if I'm wrong). If you want to actually interact with your new NiFi instance you will still need to use the REST API.

It would be nice to have a builder pattern and the ability to download the "executable" from a nexus or the local filesystem like embedded elastic, but perhaps that might be better in some third party library. https://github.com/allegro/embedded-elasticsearch -Vincent On Mon, Jan 22, 2018 at 1:37 PM, Andy LoPresto <alopre...@apache.org> wrote: > Vincent, > > I plan to merge this pull request [1] for NIFI-4424 [2] by Peter > Horvath today.
