Hey @trixpan. Just pushed a new commit with the following modifications:
- Renamed the processor to ControlNiFiComponent
- Allow the user to control processor, process group, controller service,
reporting task
- Allow the user to defined dynamic properties (with EL allowed) that will
be used to update the configuration of the target component
This would, for instance, allow a user to define a web service to download
files with something like:
HandleHttpRequest -> ControlNiFiComponent -failure-> HandleHttpResponse
GetHDFS -> HandleHttpResponse
This way, a user could send a HTTP request with the path of the file to
download, the ControlNiFiComponent is used to start/stop the GetHDFS processor
with the path to set in the processor, and the file is sent back to the user.
I believe this would cover NIFI-890.
