---------------------------------
Summary: "Off-Page" Input/Output Ports
Key: NIFI-6821
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6821
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Core UI
Reporter: Keith Hinde
When you have complex nested flows, together with a need to be as modular as
possible, you can end up with quite a tangled nest of input/output ports
joining several layers of flows. This can get very messy, very quickly.
Alternatively you add complexity by using remote process groups or listenhttp
to allow hops between distinct process groups. Again, less than desirable.
Is it feasible to change the input/output port facility to allow linkage to
ports in other flows, not just parent or child? Something like off page
connectors in Visio? In this way, you tidy things up a lot and also avoid
introducing remote functionality you don't really need?
