------------------------------------
Summary: UI - ability to connect multiple output ports to one
input port
Key: NIFI-5255
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5255
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core UI
Reporter: Pierre Villard
At the moment, when connecting two process groups, it's only possible to have
1-to-1 relationships to connect one output port to one input port.
Here is my use case: I've one common process group collecting logs from
multiple sources (A, B, C, D) and two process groups to process the logs. One
of the process group should only process logs from A, B, C while the other
should process logs from B, C, D.
In the common process group, I've one output port per source (A, B, C, D). In
each "processing" process group, I've one single input port (and I'll re-route
if necessary based on the source). At the moment, I have to drag 6
relationships to connect the common process group to the two others. I'd like
to only draw 2 connections. When dragging the connection, I should be able to
select multiple output ports from the common PG for one single destination.
That would make the workflow easier to understand, and this approach much more
scalable.
