To whom it may concern, I put up a draft pull request based on a suggestion from Brian Bende on a very minor update to nifi. The pull request is here: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/3388. It is related to this JIRA ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1693. I still have a bit more left to do but a friend of mine suggested getting feedback before completing the story if it affects a large number of locations within the codebase.
This happens to be a relatively simple change that needs to be made in many different locations. This story was one of two recommended by Andy Lopresto as a good place to get started. I may have an alternative approach that would avoid a lot of areas of implementation (perhaps even centralizing it) but require all the tests and I may attempt that as a refactor once I've completed the changes and required tests. I'm very interested in any feedback and guidance the community may have. Thanks in advance, Ryan -- Ryan Withers Senior Software Developer / Analyst http://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanwithers
