@joewitt I don't think so. If we get NIFI-4650 in, then we can probably
support builds against 2.8.x, 2.9.x, etc. on official releases without
introducing more deps to PutParquet.
@baank I know the suggested change would allow a lot more convenience and
maybe it's a little opaque to know that we intend to use the additional
classpath. What might be super helpful in these cases in "Additional Details"
documentation on the processor to lay out some known jar configurations and
build scenarios.
