[jira] [Updated] (NIFI-8487) Implement Composite Parameter Contexts

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8487?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Joseph Gresock updated NIFI-8487:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Allow a ParameterContext to contain an ordered list of other ParameterContexts, giving it the ability to inherit parameters from them.  Parameter overriding logic would be as follows:
# Parent parameters have top priority
# Child parameters have next priority, in order from top to bottom of the ordered list

This prioritization is recursive, so grandchild parameters would have the next priority, etc.

Other considerations:
* Although write access should be unchanged, read access to a Parameter Context will now require read access to all child Parameter Contexts.
* Parameter Context hierarchy loops should be detected.
