NiFi Registry 0.2.0

Version 0.2.0 of Apache NiFi Registry iterates on the capabilities introduced in the initial release that enable the storage/management of versioned NiFi flows.

Release Date: TBD, expected June 2018

Highlights of the 0.2.0 release include:

• Adds a git flow persistence provider that stores flow snapshot versions in a git repository and can be optionally configured to push changes to a remote repository such as one hosted on GitHub.
• Adds a flow hook extension point API. Write and configure your own hooks that get called any time a new flow snapshot version is saved to NiFi Registry. An included implementation can be configured to run an external script any time a new flow version is created.

• Additional deployment flexibility and configuration options

  • An external database, such as PostgreSQL, can now be used in place of an embedded H2 database

  • Adds a Dockerfile for building a NiFi Registry Docker image

  • More options for mapping LDAP group membership of users to NiFi Registry when using LDAP security

• UI/UX refinements
  • Now using NiFi Flow Design System
  • Upgrades front end application to Angular 5.2
  • Bucket IDs and Flow IDs are now discoverable in the UI to assist in the development of automations scripts
• Bug fixes

  • Flow version count updates correctly after adding a new version of a flow

  • Correct sorting of groups in the "Add user to groups" dialog

• REST API improvements
  • A new flow "diff" endpoint returns a summary of differences between two versions of a flow
  • New endpoints for interacting with flows by global id without having to specify the bucket
  • New remote management endpoints (specifically, Spring Boot Actuator endpoints are available)
  • A self-hosted Swagger UI to aid in development and testing
• Documentation improvements
  
  • A new "Getting Started" quick start guide has been added to the documentation
  • REST API documentation and Swagger specification corrections and additions. Documentation now includes which access policies are required for each end point when NiFi Registry is secured
