SamHjelmfelt edited a comment on issue #3651: NIFI-6539 Nifi stateless init from flow xml URL: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/3651#issuecomment-526724080 (changed after talking to a couple others) I agree with Joe. The flow.xml.gz is not the best way to solve for scenarios where a registry is not available. The biggest risk in using the flow.xml.gz directly is that it makes Stateless NiFi look like a drop in replacement for a NiFi node and encourages a usage pattern that avoids version control. Not to mention that the flow.xml.gz was never intended as a public interface, so it could change unexpectedly between versions. MiNiFi chose to use templates (XML/YML files) as a way of loading flow definitions without the registry, but it sounds like templates may be on their way out. I will start a discussion thread on the dev list to talk about file-based flow representations and the best solution for when a registry is not available.
