             Summary: Add Process Group Configuration?
                 Key: NIFI-1096
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1096
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Configuration, Core Framework
            Reporter: Ryan Leary
             Fix For: 1.0.0


This is as much a request for comments as feature request.

I have a group of Processors that I often group into a Process Group. I make a template of these processors. From there, I want to reuse that Process Group several times, but with changing only a couple of configuration options within the underlying Processors.

It would be really nice if we could a) have templated process groups, and b) add configuration options to a process group that processors within the group could reference.

As a concrete example, if I have two processors that push to the same Kafka topic, I'd like to configure that at the "Process Group" level rather than having to enter the process group, and modify the configuration of two processors.

Feedback appreciated! I'm a newbie to the NiFi codebase, but could look at what would be required to implement it if it's something people would find useful/would be merged.
