In general I like this idea. I'd like to even suggest a possibly broader vision that aims towards a more stable build environment that would be the "reference" environment for building NiFi.
I have been kicking around and looking at a Docker based build environment for NiFi. The idea is that you have a well defined build image that can take any of the NiFi source releases and execute the entire maven test/build cycle on it. I initially thought this would be an easy task, just whip up a new Dockerfile with the necessary build environment (I based my on Centos, adding in the java and maven requirements). Surprisingly though, this turned out to be a difficult task. I experienced all sorts of test errors, somewhat randomly and seemingly uncorrelated. So for now, I have put the idea to the side because I haven't been able to isolate whether the problems are with the build environment (likely) vs. the problems being with NiFi source itself. But I would definitely be interested in contributing and kicking this concept again, if there was some interest in collaboration.
