Joseph Witt created NIFI-4661:
---------------------------------
Summary: The nifi-grpc-bundle is built using externally access
binaries which create build portability problems
Key: NIFI-4661
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4661
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Joseph Witt
Assignee: Joseph Witt
Fix For: 1.5.0
It has been reported that nifi builds on powerpc environments were failing due
to the nifi-grpc-bundle not being able to build in that environment. It turns
out is because the grpc processors use some plugins that access some os
specific binaries outside the normal process and for grpc it is not supported
yet in the powerpc environment. No problem so we exclude them for that
environment.
Then, in upgrading to more recent versions of the plugin and grpc libraries the
build stopped working in Centos6 environments because the grpc protocol buffers
build plugin (protoc) requires GLIBC_2.14 or newer and Centos6 has GLIBC_2.12.
Given the os and environment specific nature of this component I plan to move
inclusion of building this module and inclusion of the nar to requiring
explicit profile activation.
If this PR is merged I will update the website/release build instructions to
talk about this specifically so that it is included in the normal releases.
