[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-1290) Document the need for an explicit
Validator for a PropertyDescriptor
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1290?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15059426#comment-15059426 ]
Matt Burgess commented on NIFI-1290:
------------------------------------
New proposal (to remove "you"):
A PropertyDescriptor MUST specify one or more Validators that can be
used to ensure that the user-entered value
for a property is valid. If a Validator indicates that a property
value is invalid, the Component will not be
able to be run or used until the property becomes valid. If a
Validator is not specified, the Component will be assumed invalid and
NiFi will report that the property is not supported.

> If a PropertyDescriptor (for a Processor) does not explicitly define a Validator, it is assumed invalid. This is ensure the developer knows that custom validation is necessary for added properties.
> The current doc (as of 0.4.0) says the following:

> A PropertyDescriptor may specify one or more Validators that can be

> for a property is valid. If a Validator indicates that a property
> value is invalid, the Component will not be
> able to be run or used until the property becomes valid.
