Hi Everyone,

If there are no objections, I would like to rename NiFi-Fn to Stateless NiFi. 
This is more intuitive for the uninitiated and makes it easier to differentiate 
the FaaS use cases from other use cases (e.g. long-running stateless flows).

 

Originally, it was called MagNiFi to draw the comparison to MiNiFi, but the 
name had to be changed due to a trademark. NiFi-Fn was a reasonable fit given 
opportunity for FaaS, but it has been leading to confusion given that there are 
other places that we could use it. Long running processes in particular do not 
feel like functions (even if they technically are).
