Pierre Villard updated NIFI-15673:
----------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Add support for Author+Committer with git-based Flow Registry Clients
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-15673
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-15673
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Flow Versioning
> Reporter: Pierre Villard
> Assignee: Pierre Villard
> Priority: Major
>
> Right now, in NiFi, when using a git-based Flow Registry Client, all commits
> are made with the identity that is configured for the authentication of the
> registry client. It means that if many users are using the same NiFi UI, all
> commits made by different users will be reported as being made with the same
> user (likely the service account used in the registry client configuration).
> This is not ideal when working with multiple users and trying to distinguish
> who made the actual commits.
> With the git-based implementations, it is possible to make a commit and
> specify both an author and a committer.
> This change is to use the identity of the NiFi User connected in the UI as
> the author and use the identity configured in the registry client as the
> committer.
> Important notes:
> * the proposed implementation in GitHub is using reflection as a temporary
> workaround until a submitted improvement is accepted/merged/released (see
> [https://github.com/hub4j/github-api/pull/2200)]
> * if the NiFi User does not resolve to an email address, the identity won't
> be resolved on the git provider side and it will just show the author as an
> unkown user with just the NiFi identity
> * I didn't see an option to do that with Bitbucket Data Center
> This has been tested with GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Bitbucket cloud.
> A potential follow-up improvement would be to show this information in the UI
> in the views where we list flow versions.
