Gunjan/Joe,

I was looking into this at one point...  I think the idea would be to
implement a Beam source/sink (whatever their terminology is) for NiFi, and
this would allow someone to write a single Beam job pulling/pushing data
to/from NiFi, and then that single job could be executed in Flink, Storm,
or whatever underlying providers are available to Beam.

For example, here is their Kafka integration:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/kafka/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/kafka/KafkaIO.java
