Hello, I just submitted a NIP [1] that would allow for the ability to perform a “Dry Run” of a Processor, providing potential input data to a Processor, allowing it to run, and make the results available. While this would largely be updates to the framework, it does introduce a few REST API endpoints and a new method to ProcessContext. This is something that I think many of us have found over the years would be very advantageous, allowing us to verify configuration at a level even more capable than the verify() methods and even for many Processors that do not explicitly build out such a verify method. Please check the JIRA for more details and feel free to comment there with any thoughts or feedback.
Thanks! -Mark [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIP-15
