Release vote helper docker setups

Any thoughts on building a few Docker Compose configurations to help people
test out a new release at vote time? I have a few that could be contributed
to the repository with a little cleanup.

+ 1 for me. I'd love to see it as well.

I like the idea. I use this docker-compose file quite frequently to
test nifi and registry integration:
https://github.com/kevdoran/flowops/blob/master/docker/demo/nifi-registry/docker-compose.yml

I often replace the nifi or registry image with one built locally
(e.g., nifi-dockermaven) depending on what I'm testing and I find it a
huge time saver.

Centralizing a few of these images and docker-compose files into some
aimed at development, testing, or verification would be useful for
folks who want to use them, and not required for folks who prefer to
build and run things locally without containers.

In general I like this idea. I'd like to even suggest a possibly broader
vision that aims towards a more stable build environment that would be the
"reference" environment for building NiFi.

I have been kicking around and looking at a Docker based build environment
for NiFi.  The idea is that you have a well defined build image that can
take any of the NiFi source releases and execute the entire maven
test/build cycle on it.

I initially thought this would be an easy task, just whip up a new
Dockerfile with the necessary build environment (I based my on Centos,
adding in the java and maven requirements).  Surprisingly though, this
turned out to be a difficult task.  I experienced all sorts of test errors,
somewhat randomly and seemingly uncorrelated.

So for now, I have put the idea to the side because I haven't been able to
isolate whether the problems are with the build environment (likely) vs.
the problems being with NiFi source itself.  But I would definitely be
interested in contributing and kicking this concept again, if there was
some interest in collaboration.

Thanks,
Adam
