2018-08-07 Thread Michael Miklavcic
I'd like to put up a DISCUSS thread in the next day or so regarding getting the pcap feature branch merged. In preparation, I am going to share an accounting of completed and outstanding tasks. Can folks that have contributed update their Jira status in the subtasks? It looks like the current

Why do we start over. We are going back and forth on implementation, and I don’t think we have the same goals or concerns. What would be the requirements or goals of metron integration with Nifi? How many levels or options for integration do we have? What are the approaches to choose from? Who

So how does the MetronRecordReader roll into everything? It seems like it'd be more useful on the reader per format approach, but otherwise it doesn't really seem like we gain much, and it requires getting everything linked up properly to be used. Assuming we looked at doing it that way, is the

[DISCUSS] Metron Parsers in Nifi

2018-08-07 Thread Justin Leet
