Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-2818:
-----------------------------------

ok am  +1.  I made a small change to the existsRead method to reflect exactly 
what the logic of existsReadWrite had.  This addressed a gap in the case where 
if the directory did not exist.  Tested startup with lib having only read and 
it now works just fine.  Merged to master.  thanks!

> As part of NIFI-1500 we noted that NiFi requires what can be described as 
> excessive filesystem privileges to be executed.
> One of the issues identified is that NiFi requires write access to 
> NIFI_HOME/lib as illustrated by the following:
> {code}
> nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-framework-bundle/nifi-framework/nifi-nar-utils/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/nar/NarUnpacker.java
>  for (Path narLibraryDir : narLibraryDirs) {
>                 File narDir = narLibraryDir.toFile();
>                 FileUtils.ensureDirectoryExistAndCanAccess(narDir);
>                 File[] dirFiles = narDir.listFiles(NAR_FILTER);
>                 if (dirFiles != null) {
>                     List<File> fileList = Arrays.asList(dirFiles);
>                     narFiles.addAll(fileList);
>                 }
>             }
> {code}
