Matt Burgess updated NIFI-5242:
-------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: In Progress)
> Elasticsearch REST API client has LGPL dependency which must be removed
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-5242
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5242
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Matt Burgess
> Assignee: Matt Burgess
> Priority: Major
>
> NIFI-4325 introduced a processor that made use of the Elasticsearch 5.x REST
> API client (which replaced the older native transport client). However they
> neglected to make the JTS dependency optional, as it is LGPL-licensed, and
> thus it is included as a transitive dependency in NiFi, which is a violation
> of the Apache Software Foundation guidelines.
> As it was apparently intended to be an optional dependency (see
> [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/28899)], we should be able
> to exclude it from the NiFi Maven build, but we'll need to run regression
> tests to make sure nothing gets broken as a result.
