• Core Framework 
  • Support for running multiple versions of the same component through additional versioning information provided in the NAR MANIFEST file
  • Provided two additional implementations of the Provenance Event Repository:
    
    • WriteAheadProvenanceRepository, which is designed to be much faster than the PersistentProvenanceRepository;
      
    • EncryptedWriteAheadProvenanceRepository, which is capable of encrypting (and decrypting) the Provenance Events so that they are never written out as plain text on disk
• New or Improved Processors and Controller Services
  • Introduced a record abstraction with controller services for reading and writing records from CSV, JSON, Avro, and Grok 
  • Added a new QueryRecord processor that allows SQL queries to be run over the contents of a FlowFile
  • Added a new ConvertRecord processor that is capable of converting data between different data formats, using the above-mentioned controller services
  • Added a new SplitRecord processor that is capable of splitting a large stream of record-oriented data into single records or smaller batches
  • Added new processors for publishing record-oriented data to Kafka and consuming record-oriented data from Kafka (PublishKafkaRecord_0_10 and ConsumeKafkaRecord_0_10)
  • Added new controller services for managing data schemas (AvroSchemaRegistry, HortonworksSchemaRegistry)
  • Features/improvements related to Change Data Capture (CDC), including CaptureChangeMySQL, EnforceOrder, and PutDatabaseRecord processors, as well as a "Rollback on Failure" capability of some Put processors
  • Added Wait/Notify processors for performing coordination of processing flow files when a certain number of actions of have occurred
    

• Core UI

  • Circular references have been removed and the code modularized.

  • Reduced download size by removing bundled dependencies.

  • Ever wish that it was easier to align components on the canvas? Me too...and now you can!

  • We now provide deep links to any component(s) on the canvas. This will help make collaborating and sharing more natural.

  • Users will enjoy a better understanding of the scope of Controller

  • Services through an improved experience

  • All actions available on the operate palette are now also available under the context menu too!
