Support for NiFi 2.x

[grtjn]

Hi,

NiFi 2.x has been out for a while now. Are there plans porting these plugins to 2.x too? Will that involve substantial changes from user endpoint?

Cheers,
Geert

Hey @grtjn - we haven't researched this yet. The effort will of course largely be based on how much the NiFi connector API has changed between NiFi 1 and 2. Do you have customers now using NiFi 2?

@rjrudin we have a few customers using NiFi and these connectors. So far we just have one that is actively trying to upgrade to NiFi 2, but I anticipate we'll see more of that. The NiFi maintainers posted this comment:

Apache NiFi 1.28 is the last minor release of the version 1 series. The project management committee may consider critical bug fixes for essential framework features on an exceptional basis. Critical bug fixes do not include upgrading project dependencies. Multiple fundamental dependencies in NiFi 1 cannot be upgraded. These dependencies include Jetty 9.4, Spring Framework 5.3, and AngularJS 1.8. The Apache NiFi Team strongly encourages users to upgrade to NiFi 2.

Thanks @dmcassel - it's on our radar, and this will give it a good nudge too.
