+/**
+ * <p>
+ * The ExternalStateManager is responsible for providing NiFi a mechanism
for retrieving
+ * and clearing state stored in an external system a NiFi component
interact with.
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * When calling methods in this class, the state is always
retrieved/cleared from external system
+ * regardless NiFi instance is a part of a cluster or standalone.
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * This mechanism is designed to allow developers to easily store and
retrieve small amounts of state.
+ * Since implementation of this interface interacts with remote system,
one should consider the cost of
+ * retrieving this data, and the amount of data should be kept to the
minimum required.

> State management for processors whose states are managed externally
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-2078
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2078
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework
> Reporter: Koji Kawamura
> Assignee: Koji Kawamura
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> Inherently by the nature of a given processor it may involve state managed by
> itself (using nifi state management), or can be managed by some external
> service it interacts with (kafka's offset), and theoretically some might have
> both going on. With the new state management, we're giving users a way to
> reset state managed by nifi for a given processor. But it doesnt apply to
> those processors who have external state.
> we should consider offering a way to reset state that allows a processor to
> call out to whatever external store it impacts
