ASF GitHub Bot commented on NIFI-2026:
--------------------------------------

Github user mattyb149 commented on the issue:

    Since other Apache projects are taking the stance of including the repositories in the top-level POM, I think NiFi should too. These would include (at a minimum) the MapR, Cloudera, and Hortonworks repositories. However IMO we should the draw the line at profiles, and instead enable variables like hadoop.version, hive.version, etc. and add a Wiki page or some other form of community documentation showing how to build a vendor-specific distribution of NiFi. Thoughts?

> Raising a JIRA issue as discussed with [~mattyb149] as part of PR-475. 
> Users using particular Hadoop versions may struggle to use *HDFS against a cluster running proprietary or particular versions of HDFS.
> Therefore, until we find a cleaner way of BYO hadoop machanism (as suggested in NIFI-710), we should consider introducing a maven profiles to support different hadoop library, enabling users to compile.
> This should cause no changes to default behaviour, just eliminating the need to clone, modify, build and copy NAR bundles over standard NiFi artifacts.
> Unless the profile is explicitly requested, build will still includes just the Apache licensed artifacts.
