---------------------------------------
Hi Joe & David,
We have users using non container based deployments of NiFi that are looking
for a way to make it easy to provides values for parameters. These users
complain that the current implementation (that they're using in non-container
based environments) is not user friendly (which I definitely agree with) as you
have to create one file per parameter.
I do understand that the .properties file would need to be made available on
all nodes of NiFi but, let's be honest, this is already something that all of
NiFi users have been dealing with since the project exists so I don't really
see this as an argument. Many users provides a network shared file system to
provide to all NiFi nodes files that are required by the flow definitions
(configuration files, drivers, etc). And I'd add that users already using the
File based implementation have to deploy many files (as many as they have
parameters).
This is really the intent here. Can't find the Slack discussion anymore but I
did see a couple of reports on that topic.
If you feel strongly against it, it can live outside of Apache NiFi.
