James,

The Developer Guide [1] is not a step-by-step tutorial but does include some 
excellent information. Here are some other resources that may be helpful but 
are not official Apache NiFi documents:

* Step-by-step guide to building custom processor (1.1.0) - 
http://www.nifi.rocks/developing-a-custom-apache-nifi-processor-json/ 
<http://www.nifi.rocks/developing-a-custom-apache-nifi-processor-json/>
* Bryan Bende’s guide (0.0.2-incubating) - 
http://bryanbende.com/development/2015/02/04/custom-processors-for-apache-nifi 
<http://bryanbende.com/development/2015/02/04/custom-processors-for-apache-nifi>
* HCC article on building custom processors - 
https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/4318/build-custom-nifi-processor.html
 
<https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/4318/build-custom-nifi-processor.html>

Hopefully those are sufficient to get started/familiar with the process.
