-------------------------------
Summary: Remove nifi-external and kafka connect standalone
component from the codebase
Key: NIFI-13171
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-13171
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Joe Witt
Assignee: Joe Witt
The nifi-external/kafka-connect component usage is unknown. We see very little
apache community engagement in/around this component. And it sees very little
if any maintainenance. In the past year there appears to be a single change
other than dependency updates around the component but not within (ie it isn't
updated for latest Kafka 3 or even Kafka 2).
Any remaining usage of it can continue from the 1.x release of it but we should
discontinue support for it in the NiFi 2.x line unless there is a significant
shift in both interest/usage and maintenance.
