-----------------------------------
Summary: Build list of processors with various attributes at
startup
Key: NIFI-5658
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5658
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core Framework, Extensions
Affects Versions: 1.7.1
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
There are some attributes of processors that are useful to expose to users.
Qualities like "contains sensitive property descriptor(s)", "has required
property descriptor(s) with no default value", "uses Controller Service X",
etc. can help users categorize these components.
Rather than require annotations (which requires a code change and release to
update), Bryan Bende brought up querying these attributes at startup (NAR
loading) and building simple lists/maps contained in memory.
Exposing these collections can help with searching/filtering processors in the
*Add Processor* dialog, understanding immediate needs on template import /
versioned flow snippet import, etc.
