--------------------------------
Summary: Allow templates to be instantiated even if they contain
missing processor types
Key: NIFI-3122
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3122
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Framework
Reporter: Mark Payne
Assignee: Mark Payne
Fix For: 1.2.0
If a template is imported into NiFi, no checks are done to see if the component
types in the template are valid. However, when we try to instantiate the
template, if it contains a processor, etc. that is not known by the NiFi
instance, the instantiation fails.
We recently introduced the notion of Ghost Processors/Controller
Services/Reporting Tasks. As a result, we can now avoid the failure in this
case and instead create ghost components when the type is not known.
