[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-868) Configure advertised host name of Remote Process Group Input Port

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-868?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14702431#comment-14702431 ]

    NIFI-868 Configure advertised host name of Remote Process Group Input…

    … Port
    
    Before this change, the host given out to clients to connect to a Remote
    Process Group Input Port is the host where the NiFi instance runs.
    However, sometimes the binding host is different from the host that
    clients connect to. For example, when a NiFi instance runs inside a
    Docker container, a client on a separate machine must connect to the
    Docker host which forwards the connection to the container.
    
    Kafka addresses this situation by allowing a broker to configure the
    host name given out to producers, consumers, and other brokers to connect to.
    Implement something similar in NiFi. 
    
    Add a configuration property to specify the host name to give out to
    clients to connect to a Remote Process Group Input Port. If the property
    is not configured, then give out the name of host running the NiFi
    instance.
