Hi All, We are looking to use the built-in Nifi Elasticsearch Http processors with signed AWS ES requests. I tried to extend them to do so, but ran into issues with things being in-extensible (private-static-final in some cases), and was wondering if this would be something that would be considered to be merged into the baseline?
There's two main ways I saw doing it -- either modifying the existing ES code to allow for it, or making new AWS-specific extended adapters to do it. In the former, it might require dependencies between the ES code and the AWS code for optional CredentialProviders, etc., and am not sure how isolated you all try to keep things. In either case, AWS essentially adds an HTTP-header signature to authenticate the request against your ES instance. The easiest path to do this seems to be writing a bridge between the ES OkHttpClient requests and the AWS requests to generate the signature correctly. Just wanted to get some feedback to be sure this wouldn't be a waste of time. Thanks! Jon
