-----------------------------------
Summary: It should be possible to boot the NiFi engine via the
Java API
Key: NIFI-4485
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4485
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Peter Horvath
Class {{org.apache.nifi.NiFi}} was not designed with extensibility or
programmatic access in mind.
This class is the entry point of the engine, however, the current
implementation does not allow
a potential caller (e.g. an integration test harness) to bootstrap the engine
and then shut it down properly. Please Change this so that a NiFi instance can
be started via the Java API:
Introduce a separate class, which allows the engine to be started in "embedded"
mode, this should be basically an extension to the existing class
{{org.apache.nifi.NiFi#NiFi}}, but with some enhancements: The constructor
{{org.apache.nifi.NiFi#NiFi}} registers an {{UncaughtExceptionHandler}}, a JVM
{{Shutdown Hook}} and changes logging framework settings. These should NOT
happen in embedded mode; in addition to that, it should be possible to shut the
engine down via the API.
