> Ability to derive custom Rest API processes from InvokeHTTP

> Key: NIFI-9015
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9015
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Otto Fowler
> Assignee: Otto Fowler
> Priority: Major
>
> In setups with custom development, there is a lot of boilerplate
> customization to InvokeHTTP around some known set of rest apis. As such flow
> developers / users have to 'know' and understand these things in order to
> setup possibly multiple InvokeHTTP instances with these details.
> Some users may instead want to create a top level derived processor with
> custom setup and parameters for a specific rest api for easy configuration
> and deployment.
> The
> [InvokeAWSGatewayApi|https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-aws-nar/1.14.0/org.apache.nifi.processors.aws.wag.InvokeAWSGatewayApi/index.html]
> processor ( which itself had to be copied from InvokeHTTP because of this
> limitation ) offers this, such that you can create a derived processor for a
> custom AWS Web Gateway service.
> With a coming processor registry, the ability for people to contribute
> specialized processors for certain APIs would be great. These may be a
> subset or a super set of the existing properties. We may also move the
> 'base' properties to a new UI tab in the configuration, such that you can add
> custom extra configuration in the first focus tab. We could also allow for
> removing properties as well from the base tab, etc etc
> This task would involve refactoring the invokeHTTP processor such that there
> is a reusable base, with the InvokeHTTP processor being a pass-through
> default implementation ( IE> a new derived from base would have all the same
> features as InvokeHTTP ).
