[jira] [Commented] (MINIFI-488) Allow flow construction from YAML config

["Aldrin Piri (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFI-488?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16720456#comment-16720456 ] 

Aldrin Piri commented on MINIFI-488:
------------------------------------

The intent is to treat a config.yml as a native input for a flow definition into NiFi.

There are certain assumptions about how this would work in the case of MiNiFi:
* a flow only needs to be read at start time
* the config.yml is effectively read-only from within nifi
* the totality of information would be the same information that could be expressed via a template
* the YAML should be mapped into a native flow object, avoiding the intermediate flow.xml format as had been done in minifi java
