-------------------------------------
Summary: Switch to unique human-friendly names for buckets and
flows
Key: NIFIREG-136
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFIREG-136
Project: NiFi Registry
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.1.0
Reporter: Andrew Grande
I have been playing with the Registry and using [~bende] 's early CLI to
accomplish some automation tasks. Have had really tough times with UUIDs being
used for buckets and flows, it introduced a lot of context switches to
locate/save/copy/paste those when using the API.
I would strongly suggest considering the human-friendly names and convert deep
links to using those instead. This not only provides for an easy portable full
URI, but also addresses compatibility issues between instances of the registry,
as buckets & flows with the same name are guaranteed to have different UUIDs. A
kind of copy/paste between environments.
P.S.: spaces in the name in the URI could be substituted for '+' sign
transparently, using the %20 would defeat the purpose of smooth ease-of-use.
