> GET /nifi-api/connectors/\{id}
> can fail with a NullPointerException when a Connector is using an external
> configuration provider.
> The exception is:
> {code:java}
> Cannot invoke "FrameworkFlowContext.getConfigurationContext()" because
> "this.workingFlowContext" is null
> at
> org.apache.nifi.components.connector.StandardConnectorNode.replaceWorkingConfiguration
> {code}
> The GET path loads the latest provider configuration and calls
> {{{}replaceWorkingConfiguration{}}}. At the same time,
> {{recreateWorkingFlowContext}} can destroy the current working flow context
> before the replacement is created and assigned. A concurrent GET can then see
> a null working context.
> After the connector is initialized, callers must always observe a live
> working context. Replacement should install the new context before the
> previous one is destroyed, and Connector callbacks must not run while the
> working-context monitor is held.
