How to achieve load balancing in Nifi 1.1.2

[#1]

Is there is any way to achieve load balancing in Nifi cluster apart from using Remote process group?

Ideally load-balancing would be handle by the systems pushing data to your NiFI. When that is not possible and you are forced to ingest all data to a single Node in your NiFi cluster, load-balancing must be handled via a dataflow implementation.

Using a Remote Process Group (RPG) is the most common solution used to redistribute already ingested data across all node sin a cluster, but you can also use multiple PostHTTP processors (1 for every node in your cluster) and a single ListenHTTP processor to build a FlowFile distribution dataflow.

See the following for more info...
