    The description here should mention that it is only used when the reporting 
task is configured to use a Record Writer. For the one you added, it has two 
modes, but future reporting tasks need not offer an alternative.

> At the moment there is an AmbariReportingTask to send the NiFi-related 
> metrics of the host to the Ambari Metrics Service. In a multi-cluster 
> configuration, or when working with MiNiFi (Java) agents, it might not be 
> possible for all the NiFi instances (NiFi and/or MiNiFi) to access the AMS 
> REST API.
> To solve this problem, a solution would be to implement a 
> SiteToSiteMetricsReportingTask to send the data via S2S to the "main" NiFi 
> instance/cluster that will be able to publish the metrics into AMS (using 
> InvokeHTTP). This way, it is possible to have the metrics of all the 
> instances exposed in one AMS instance.
> I propose to send the data formatted as we are doing right now in the Ambari 
> reporting task. If needed, it can be easily converted into another schema 
> using the record processors once received via S2S.
