ASF GitHub Bot commented on NIFI-766: ------------------------------------- Github user mcgilman commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/1080 @pvillard31, Following some of the discussion on the mailing list recently and the original commentary on the JIRA [1], I'd like to propose shifting from an icon based approach when back pressure is engaged to a progress bar style approach where the user can quickly get a sense of how 'full' the queue is currently. ![backpressure](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/123395/19003638/c0abcfc6-871f-11e6-9338-c6b2500c4ee3.png) The mockup shows various configuration scenarios. - Expiration (clock icon) - Object and Data size backpressure (left and right bars respectively) - Empty bar - backpressure not configured - Partial bar - backpressure configured, partial represent precentage full - Full solid bar - backpressure engaged If you're up for some additional cycles on this PR I'd be happy to work through the changes with you. If not, I'm happy to take what you started and continue toward the mockup above. Thanks!
