Joseph Gresock updated NIFI-8487:
---------------------------------
Description:
Allow a ParameterContext to contain an ordered list of other ParameterContexts,
giving it the ability to inherit parameters from them. Parameter overriding
logic would be as follows:
# Parent parameters have top priority
# Child parameters have next priority, in order from top to bottom of the
ordered list
This prioritization is recursive, so grandchild parameters would have the next
priority, etc.
Other considerations:
* Although write access should be unchanged, read access to a Parameter Context
will now require read access to all child Parameter Contexts.
* Parameter Context hierarchy loops should be detected.
