-----------------------------------------
Summary: Separate API and utility libraries from minifi-core
Key: MINIFICPP-1472
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFICPP-1472
Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Ferenc Gerlits
Currently, extensions depend on {{minifi-core}}, which contains (almost)
everything under {{libminifi}}.[1]
We should separate out a {{minifi-extension-api}} library and a
{{minifi-extension-utils}} library, and make sure only these are used by the
extensions (and leave the rest in {{minifi-core}}). The idea is that
* the {{api}} library would be stable (can only be broken at major releases);
* the {{utils}} library is mainly aimed at our own extensions, and it could
change at each release – but users are free to use it if they are willing to
recompile for every release.
For this step, the new libraries can remain static.
TODO: this task may need to be broken down further.
[1] the one thing it doesn't is {{ProcessorUtils}}, for no clear reason
(probably history); that can be moved inside {{minifi-core}} as the first step
of this task
