@JPercivall I was able to reproduce the behavior with Kafka 0.10.0. But
figured out the cause comes from a different change.
[NIFI-2355](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2355) and its PR
#715 added permission check to table sort comparator, in nf-component-state.js.
I think it shouldn't be added to state table, since a given user won't have
record level permission difference for component state.
#715 has the same change for changes nf-controller-services.js and other JS
files. I assume adding the permission change to nf-component-state.js was a
mistake. By removing the change from nf-component-state.js, I was able to view
external state with Kafka 0.10.0 Broker.
It's worth noting that I got the same JS error with ListFile when I viewed
its state, so the problem is not limited to external state.
Failed NIFI-2441 for that issue.
