  • New Application Features
    • Data inspection: We've greatly enhanced the ability to interact with data and inspect it as it is flowing through NiFi. 
  • Things to make NiFi Development Better and Easier
    • State Management: As many developers are aware, keeping state in a Processor was often "up to you".  This extension to the framework addresses this by adding state management as a core feature. In addition, many existing processors which kept state were modified to take advantage of this new capability. 
    • Testing Improvements: We've improved the performance of many unit tests,  added support for groovy for unit tests, the ability to test in unit tests, as well as better support for integration testing 
  • Improvements to Existing Capabilities
    • RELP Support for Syslog: In addition to adding support for RELP (Reliable Event Logging Protocol) for transporting syslog messages, emphasis was put on improving the framework to enable even more extensions in future releases. 
    • S3 Improvements: We've pushed past the 5G max upload limitation of the previous PutS3Object processor by adding Multipart Upload support. Additionally, we added a couple authorization capabilities, like expression language support for keys, and an exciting new controller service created initially for fetching from buckets access across accounts.
    • Hive Support: The Kite bundle now supports sending data directly into Hive tables
    • Encryption: A broad set of enhancements were made to improve encryption and decryption of content and associated user documentation.
  • New Extensions
    • Script Execution: We've dramatically enhanced the ability to operate on data flowing through NiFi by adding support for launching scripts in a flow. We added a broad set of scripting languages - you can launch JRuby, Groovy, JavaScript, Lua, or Jython scripts with access to FlowFile data, which will allow much more dynamism and quick reaction capability in your data flows.
    • Support for sending Riemann Events: NiFi now supports sending events to the Riemann event stream processing system. 
    • Elasticsearch: Connectivity to the popular search engine was added to this release
    • Avro Schema Inference: Support was added allowing the inference of an Avro schema from JSON and CSV data flowing through NiFi.
    • AMQP support: NiFi now supports sending and receiving from AMQP (Advanced Message Queueing Protocol) based messaging systems
