Also to note if your not plugged in to the Data Management industry... Work Flow Orchestration is also sometimes called Process Management, where there are specific tools and frameworks to deal with that scope on multiple levels. You may have heard of a specific Process Management called Business

Vincent Sorry for the late reply, but here it is Based on what you have described it appears you have a mix of two problems: Work Flow Orchestration and Data Flow. The main issue is that at the surface it’s not always easy to tell the difference, but I’ll try. Work Flow Orchestration allows

Thanks Oleg and Joe, I am not currently convinced that nifi is the solution as well, but it is a nice way for us to manage actions based on the result of a mapreduce job. Our use cases is to have follow on processors that perform actions based on the results of the map reduce jobs. One

Vincent This sounds more like an architectural question and even outside of NiFi in order to achieve that especially in the distributed environment one would need some kind of coordination component. And while we can think of variety of way to accomplish that I am not entirely convinced that

I have two processors (that aren't part of the same flow) that write to the same resource (a mongo collection) via a map reduce job. I don't want both to run at the same time. On Mar 28, 2016 6:28 PM, "Joe Witt" wrote: > Vincent, > > Not really and that would largely be by

Vincent, Not really and that would largely be by design. Can you describe the use case more so we can suggest alternatives or perhaps understand the motivation better? Thanks Joe On Mon, Mar 28, 2016 at 4:00 PM, Vincent Russell wrote: > > Is it possible to have one

Having on processor block while another one is running

Is it possible to have one processor block while another specified processor is running (within the onTrigger method). I can do this on a non-clustered nifi with a synchronized block I guess, but i wanted to know if there was a more idiomatic way of doing this. Thanks, Vincent
