             Summary: Print app startup in human-readable time
                 Key: NIFI-4221
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4221
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
            Reporter: Andy LoPresto
            Priority: Minor


Currently the application startup time is printed in nanoseconds in the app 
log. While this is very precise, because of the scale of these values, it can 
require mental math to detect delays or variance from the standard/average 
timing. I think it would be helpful to print a "human-readable" (i.e. broken 
out into larger units) start time alongside the nanosecond precision time: 

{code}
2017-07-24 14:00:14,159 INFO [main] org.apache.nifi.NiFi Controller 
initialization took 15127377569 nanoseconds.
{code}

to:

{code}
2017-07-24 14:00:14,159 INFO [main] org.apache.nifi.NiFi Controller 
initialization took 15127377569 nanoseconds (15 seconds).
{code}

While currently it's simply a matter of moving the decimal over the right 
number of places, some deployments on cloud systems (especially those with low 
entropy before NIFI-3313 was resolved) could take minutes to deploy. Being able 
to parse these values in meaningful dimensions at a glance is helpful.
