> NIFI component high resource usage annotation
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-4872
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4872
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core Framework, Core UI
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Jeff Storck
> Assignee: Jeff Storck
> Priority: Critical
>
> NiFi Processors currently have no means to relay whether or not they have may
> be resource intensive or not. The idea here would be to introduce an
> Annotation that can be added to Processors that indicate they may cause high
> memory, disk, CPU, or network usage. For instance, any Processor that reads
> the FlowFile contents into memory (like many XML Processors for instance) may
> cause high memory usage. What ultimately determines if there is high
> memory/disk/cpu/network usage will depend on the FlowFiles being processed.
> With many of these components in the dataflow, it increases the risk of
> OutOfMemoryErrors and performance degradation.
> The annotation should support one value from a fixed list of: CPU, Disk,
> Memory, Network. It should also allow the developer to provide a custom
> description of the scenario that the component would fall under the high
> usage category. The annotation should be able to be specified multiple
> times, for as many resources as it has the potential to be high usage.
> By marking components with this new Annotation, we can update the generated
> Processor documentation to include this fact.
