---------------------------------
Summary: Provide configtest like functionality for NiFi
Key: NIFI-3407
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3407
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Configuration
Reporter: Aldrin Piri
Apache httpd has a process wherein the syntax of config files is checked and if
there are any issues. While this isn't a direct mapping in terms of the
functionality that I think would be useful it establishes a foundation. In
terms of orchestrating deployments and managing instances, it could be helpful
to have the ability to run a state of the instance kind of check which ensure
validity as well as help determine possible "gotchas."
Ultimately, the idea is that we can generate a report of information that could
help to provide a state of the configuration that would allow external tooling
to make decisions as to how to interact.
An illustrative example is that of joining a secured cluster. In this case,
some cursory inspection of the associated zookeeper instance might indicate
that a cluster is already in place. This information could then be used to
make determinations of next actions in terms of how to bring the associated
instance online and facilitate joining the cluster.
