---------------------------------

             Summary: Site-to-Site documentation needs to better articulate the purpose and value
                 Key: NIFI-1508
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1508
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation & Website
            Reporter: Joseph Witt
            Priority: Minor


https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/user-guide.html#site-to-site

These docs are a good start.  But they would benefit from some images which help users understand setup more and config pointers for admins who have to set it up.  The admin guide refers to site-to-site but there is no explanation of what it is.  Perhaps it deserves its own document - not sure.

A related issue is that the first sentence about site-to-site mentions instance to instance which can imply a node-to-node thing which obviously doesn't sound very scalable.  Need to rewrite that to better articulate the value proposition and inherent scalability and load balanced and auto-failed over behavior of site-to-site.
