-----------------------------------------
Summary: Properties with an allowed list of values should check
their input
Key: MINIFICPP-1292
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFICPP-1292
Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ferenc Gerlits
Fix For: 1.0.0
If you declare a Property of a processor with a list of allowed values (using
{{withAllowableValues}}) and then give this property a non-allowed value when
you configure the processor, it will not automatically throw an exception, only
if the processor code checks the property in {{onSchedule()}}.
The heartbeat will contain the list of allowed values, so if you use a C2
client to set up the configuration, than this can be prevented by the client,
so this is not a major issue.
Nevertheless, the Property itself should verify that it is valid, so each
processor doesn't need to check them in {{onSchedule()}}, or risk not working
correctly when configured manually. Since this change may break existing
deployments, it should be rolled out with a major version change.
