Summary: Create a plugin system for Metron based on M
Key: METRON-777
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-777
Project: Metron
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Otto Fowler
Assignee: Otto Fowler
The success of the Metron project will be greatly dependent on community
participation, and with that the ability to adapt and extend Metron without
having to maintain a fork of the project.
As organizations and individuals look to extend the Metron system with custom
parsers, enrichments, and stellar functions that may be proprietary in nature,
the ability to develop and deploy these extensions outside the Metron code base
is critically important.
To that end, and after community discussion and proposal we create or formalize
the 'plugin' development story in Metron.
The proposal is to adapt the Apache Nifi NAR system for use in Metron. This
will provide the system with:
* archetype(s) for developer projects and independent development
* defined packaging and metadata for 'plugin' products
* loading and instantiation with classloader isolation capabilities
* removing the necessity for shading plugin jars
These capabilities will also enable other features, such as plugin lifecycle,
plugin configuration+redeployment, and other things.
