How to make nifi support tensorflow?

Is there any plugins for it?

Thank you!

There's no specific processor for tensorflow. However, you can use the ExecuteStreamCommand to call shell scripts that call TensorFlow binaries. There are other ways to do this, including building a custom processor, but this is the easiest.

To get an idea of how this would work, take a look at the below demo by @Timothy Spann that downloads linked images from twitter messages and runs Tensorflow image recognition on them.

I have written a Processor for it. See: https://community.hortonworks.com/content/kbentry/116803/building-a-custom-processor-in-apache-nifi-...

You can also run it on an edge node: https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/118132/minifi-capturing-converting-tensorflow-inception-t...

I have run this a few dozen ways and they all work great.

If you have any questions let me know, I have been integrating NiFi and TensorFlow for over a year.
