--------------------------------------
Github user colindean commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/3133
> What about making all of the new fields not required? `required(false)`.
Then, if a value is provided, you override, otherwise you leave it be. You
could call out the default values, or default functionality at least, in the
property description?
I _could_ go this route, but I'm not where to strike the balance between
"explicit settings from defaults at the time of creation" versus "use the
latest default". I could reference the DBCP default constants in the property
description, too, thus preventing the description from becoming out of date…
> DBCPConnectionPool configuration should expose underlying connection idle and
> eviction configuration

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Colin Dean
> Priority: Major
> Labels: DBCP, database

> While investigating a fix for NIFI-5789, I noticed in the [DBCPConnectionPool
> documentation|https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-dbcp-service-nar/1.8.0/org.apache.nifi.dbcp.DBCPConnectionPool/index.html]
> that NiFi appears _not_ to have controller service configuration options
> associated with [Apache
> Commons-DBCP|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbcp/configuration.html]
> {{BasicDataSource}} parameters like {{minIdle}} and {{maxIdle}}, which I
> think should be both set to 0 in my particular use case.
> Alternatively, I think I could set {{maxConnLifetimeMillis}} to something
> even in the minutes range and satisfy my use case (a connection need not be
> released _immediately_ but within a reasonable period of time), but this
> option is also not available.
