Hi NiFi community, As we're trying to flush out all of the details of the new NIP process [1] when it comes to proposing significant changes to NiFi, I'd like to start this discussion thread regarding a NIP that I submitted about Extension Registry Clients [2].
I invite every interested individual to have a look at the proposal, and share feedback via the comments of the JIRA or via this thread. A formal vote can then be done to accept or reject the proposal. TL;DR this NIP is about adding a new component type in NiFi: the extension registry clients. The concept of NAR Manager has already been added in NiFi 2.0 and it's possible to PUSH NAR files into NiFi via new APIs. The goal here is to provide a PULL mechanism to fetch NARs from external locations. Thanks a lot!
