-----------------------------------
Summary: Allow "quiet queues"
Key: NIFI-4354
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4354
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core UI
Affects Versions: 1.3.0
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
Priority: Minor
Based on an off-list discussion, there is a desire for "bus" connection
functionality to handle many components/processor groups routing similar output
to a common error-handling group or similar shared functionality.
While it would require substantial modifications to connection behavior to
enable this, an interim solution was discussed where funnels could be chained
to provide a similar mechanism. However, these chains can appear visually noisy
(see screenshot).
I propose that we enable a boolean toggle for each connection which can mark it
as "quiet" -- i.e. just a line, no status display. This flag could be
automatically enabled for connections between two funnels, as there is no
possibility of starting/stopping the endpoints and no need for back pressure
(display; it would still propagate from downstream connections) between two
funnels.
This allows for very consistent connection/queue implementation and minor logic
change, while muting the visual noise.
