-----------------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Ferenc Gerlits)
> Make extensions loadable at runtime as plugins
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MINIFICPP-1471
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFICPP-1471
> Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++
> Issue Type: Epic
> Reporter: Ferenc Gerlits
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 22h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Extensions (processors, controller services, and utilities used by them) are
> currently built as static libraries, and are linked into the minifi
> executable.
> We need to change them to separate shared library plugins which we can load
> at runtime.
> Development of these tasks should be done on a separate branch (TODO: add
> branch name), as there will be many conflicts with other changes. Merge the
> main branch to the development branch from time to time, in order to reduce
> the amount of pain we'll have when merging back to main at the end.
> Notes:
> * We need to make sure the plugin we are trying to load is compatible with
> the minifi core (and not load it if it isn't). Initially, we can require a
> build version string to match, ie. each plugin will need to be recompiled for
> each minifi release. We can improve on this approach later.
> * Later we may want to add support for unloading/updating plugins, but this
> doesn't need to be part of the initial rollout.
