--------------------------------------------------------------
Definitely interesting idea. Would the aliasing approach handle cases where the
nested flow is actually pointing to a different registry?
So on NiFi side you have parent PG versioned controlled at
[http://registry-1.com|http://registry-1.com/] and then inside it child PG
version controlled at [http://registry-2.com|http://registry-2.com/].
In registry-1 the versioned flow for the parent PG has the nested PG with the
pointer its location, would that be aliased too somehow?

> Support Registry URL Aliasing

> Key: NIFIREG-238
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFIREG-238
> Project: NiFi Registry
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Bryan Rosander
> Priority: Major
>
> It would be nice to be able to change the URL of a NiFi Registry without
> rewriting all flow history.
> In a deeply nested flow where there are dependencies on potentially multiple
> versions of the same process group, this doesn't seem to be possible. (You
> can update the URL in the latest version but cannot retroactively change it
> for the benefit of process groups pointing at the older version(s).)
> If we allowed for aliasing of that field, this would be a non-issue, it could
> be stored as a token (or original url) inside the registry and rewritten when
> requested. When persisting, it could be translated back to the token value.
