             Summary: Dynamic Properties support for processors
                 Key: MINIFI-171
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFI-171
             Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++
    Affects Versions: cpp-0.1.0
            Reporter: Jeremy Dyer
            Assignee: Jeremy Dyer
             Fix For: cpp-0.2.0


Currently any Property read from the config.yml file that is not explicitly defined in the processor's implementation will be ignored by Processor.cpp when reading the configurations. This prevents any dynamic property from being defined in the config.yml and passed to the processor at runtime. Certain processors rely heavily on the concept of dynamic properties that are passed to them at runtime to handle things like setting dynamic properties based on properties that are declared. All of these possibilities cannot be handled upfront so there should be a mechanism, most likely in Processor.cpp, that allows for a list of dynamicProperties that are parsed form the config.yml file to be stored and accessed by the underlying processor implementation at runtime and use them as the processor desires.
