> 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.
