[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-973) Create a Getting Started Guide

["Aldrin Piri (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-973?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14950573#comment-14950573 ] 

Aldrin Piri commented on NIFI-973:
----------------------------------

[~markap14], did a review over the guide and left a few comments.  Otherwise, I think it looks great and is something the project really needs.  I think my usage of the review tool may have been a little off and not really sure where the distinction is drawn between just a comment and an issue.  

Regardless, core items are the mention of the service working on OS X and the reference to the tag/name filter in the UI which is now gone.  Otherwise, looks good.

> Currently, we have an overview document that is very high level and is more of an architectural document, and we also have a user guide that is very verbose and extensive and several other guides that focus on specific aspects of nifi in great detail.
> We do not have anything that is more brief introduction to the features of NiFi that a new user would be interested in reading through. The User Guide is a bit longer than many users want to read and is more of a reference guide.
> I'd like to see a guide targeted toward those who are not extremely familiar with NiFi but don't want to read a 70+ page user guide.
> Recommended topics:
> - Downloading and starting nifi
> - Building a simple flow
> - What Processors are available
> - Working with Attributes
> - Working with Templates
> - Data Provenance
> - Monitoring nifi
