I would say nuke it, as you are saying. I would also say you should cross post this to users@ as they will have relevant input

As noted in [1] it does not see much active maintenance and I never see in the apache community any questions/usage related either. Kafka is currently on 3.7.0 and this component is Kafka 2.6 for example. We should not carry this forward in the 2.x line. To be clear Kafka remains a super important component to interact with and our Kafka components within NiFi do see maintenance including an active PR under review right now. But this is our last 'nifi-external' remaining and is not maintained. I'll file a PR under this JIRA [1] and its child JIRA for removal on 2x and deprecation on 1x but wanted to flag this here in case there is some substantial usage and/or maintenance/update coming soon. Even if desire remains to keep it alive that should be considered to occur in another repo or by another group that leverages it - but please let me know if there is apache community usage/mx I'm not aware of. Thoughts? [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-13171 Thanks Joe
