Rebooting Bootstrap for Apache NiFi 2
Apache NiFi 2 introduced a redesigned approach to application bootstrapping, reducing resource consumption, streamlining process communication, and standardizing process monitoring. The new implementation builds on updated process handling and HTTP server features of the Java Development Kit to support startup, status, and shutdown across different platforms without additional dependencies.
Investigation Questions for Evaluating Java Libraries
Writing software often involves building on an existing foundation with available tools. The Java platform provides a strong starting point, and most applications use multiple libraries to provide common capabilities. The relative ubiquity of Java brings a wide range existing libraries for numerous purposes, but careful analysis is essential when evaluating library additions. Asking five basic questions is an important starting point for dependency selection.
Feature Evolution Strategies for Apache NiFi Processors
Processors are the fundamental building blocks of Apache NiFi data pipelines, requiring a firm grasp of stream handling and multithreaded programming for efficient implementation. Evolving capabilities within individual Processors involves understanding both public and programmatic interface surfaces, along with the options available for introducing new features, without requiring manual configuration changes.
