Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-2954:
-----------------------------------
The version compatibility guidance is spelled out here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/Version+Scheme+and+API+Compatibility
It is essential to note that this does not break existing processors. They
will continue to work just fine. This is a utility library that would be
pulled into the nars/extensions themselves. What it does mean is that when
someone with an existing extension wants to update to a newer version of the
nar-bundle parent, if they even use that, or if they want to use a newer
version of nifi-processor-utils they would have to adjust to the new package
naming.
I already updated the arcetype.
And I flagged this JIRA as release-notes relevant and will be highlighting this
for developers purposes on the release notes.
I added comments to the poms of the relevant nifi-*-util modules to explain
their purpose and the thinking behind dependency management for them.
That said and as commented previously when describing the plan this is the
least intrusive way to unwind our dependency handling which got us to this
point.
