UX: Bootstrap an empty NiFi instance from a given flow definition #34

Closed aperepel closed 6 years ago

aperepel commented 6 years ago

As a deployer, I want to be able to publish to a registry and have a live NiFi cluster deploy a given flow version.

This is not merely a 'deploy the flow in NiFi workflow'. The focus is on the initial setup for a post-install script. I.e. given a running NiFi cluster and registry, issue a command to deploy a registry controller service in NiFi and ultimately have it deploy a given flow (a la startup flow). This will involve populating the registry with this startup flow as an intermediary step.

@aperepel This is now possible in the current master branch, though not yet elegant.

Fixed in #46 All the necessary commands are there to chain this sequence as described, and may be seen in the way that nipyapi/tests/conftest.py generates fixtures using exactly this process.
