New Features of Apache NiFi 1.13.0 Check it out:   https://twitter.com/pvillard31/status/1361569608327716867?s=27 Download today: Apache NiFi Downloads Release Notes: Release Notes (Apache NiFi) Migration:  Migration Guidance New Features ListenFTP UpdateHiveTable - Hive DDL changes - Hive Update Schema i.e. Data Drift i.e. Hive Schema Migration!!!! SampleRecord - different sampling approaches to records (Interval Sampling, Probabilistic Sampling, Reservoir Sampling) CDC updates Kudu updates AMQP and MQTT integration upgrades ConsumeMQTT - readers, and writers added HTTP access to NiFi by default is now configured to accept connections to 127.0.0.1/localhost only. If you want to allow broader access for some reason for HTTP, and you understand the security implications, you can still control that as always by changing the 'nifi.web.http.host' property in nifi.properties as always. That said, take the time to configure proper HTTPS. We offer detailed instructions and tooling to assist. ConsumeMQTT - add record reader/writer The ability to run NiFi with no GUI as MiNiFi/NiFi combined code base continues. Support for Kudu dates Updated GRPC versions Apache Calcite update PutDatabaseRecord update Here is an example for NiFi ETL Flow: Example NiFi 1.13.0 Flow: ConsumeMQTT:   now with readers UpdateAttribute:   set record.sink.name to kafka and recordreader.name to json. SampleRecord:   sample a few of the records PutRecord:   Use reader and destination service UpdateHiveTable:   new sink Consume from MQTT and read and write to/from records. Some example attributes from a running flow: Connection pools for DatabaseRecordSinks can be JDBC, Hadoop, and Hive. FreeFormTextRecordSetWriter is great for writing any format. RecordSinkService, we will pick Kafka as our destination. KafkaRecordSink from PutRecord The reader will pick JSON in our example based on our UpdateAttribute; we can dynamically change this as data streams. ReaderLookup  - lets you pick a reader based on an attribute. We have defined readers for Parquet, JSON, AVRO, XML, and CSV; no matter the type, I can automagically read it. Great for reusing code and great for cases like our new ListenFTP where you may get sent tons of different files to process. Use one FLOW! RecordSinkService can help you make all our flows generic so you can drop in different sinks/destinations for your writers based on what the data coming in is. This is revolutionary for code reuse. We can write our output in a custom format that could look like a document, HTML, fixed-width, a form letter, weird delimiter, or whatever you need. Sample records using different methods. We use the RecordSinkServiceLookup to allow us to change our sink location dynamically; we are passing in an attribute to choose Kafka. We have pushed our data to Kafka using KafkaRecordSink. We can see our data easily in Streams Messaging Manager (SMM). With a RecordReaderFactory, you can pick readers like the new WindowsEventLogReader. As another output, we can UpdateHiveTable from our data and change the table as needed.

Automating Starting Services in Apache NiFi and Applying Parameters Automate all the things! You can call these commands interactively or script all of them with awesome DevOps tools. @Andre Araujo and @dchaffey can tell you more about that. Enable All NiFi Services on the Canvas By running this three times, I get any stubborn ones or ones that needed something previously running. This could be put into a loop; check the status before trying again. nifi pg-list nifi pg-status nifi pg-get-services The NiFi CLI has interactive help available and also some good documentation: NiFi CLI Toolkit Guide   /opt/demo/nifi-toolkit-1.12.1/bin/cli.sh nifi pg-enable-services -u http://edge2ai-1.dim.local:8080 --processGroupId root /opt/demo/nifi-toolkit-1.12.1/bin/cli.sh nifi pg-enable-services -u http://edge2ai-1.dim.local:8080 --processGroupId root /opt/demo/nifi-toolkit-1.12.1/bin/cli.sh nifi pg-enable-services -u http://edge2ai-1.dim.local:8080 --processGroupId root   We could then start a process group if we wanted:   nifi pg-start -u http://edge2ai-1.dim.local:8080 -pgid 2c1860b3-7f21-36f4-a0b8-b415c652fc62   List all process groups   /opt/demo/nifi-toolkit-1.12.1/bin/cli.sh nifi pg-list -u http://edge2ai-1.dim.local:8080   List Parameters   /opt/demo/nifi-toolkit-1.12.1/bin/cli.sh nifi list-param-contexts -u http://edge2ai-1.dim.local:8080 -verbose   Set parameters to set parameter context for a process group; you can loop to do all. pgid => parameter group id pcid => parameter context id I need to put this in a shell or Python script:   /opt/demo/nifi-toolkit-1.12.1/bin/cli.sh nifi pg-set-param-context -u http://edge2ai-1.dim.local:8080 -verbose -pgid 2c1860b3-7f21-36f4-a0b8-b415c652fc62 -pcid 39f0f296-0177-1000-ffff-ffffdccb6d90   Example setupnifi.sh (Github Link) You could also use the NiFi REST API or Dan's awesome Python API NiPyApi: A Python Client SDK for Apache NiFi References DevOps:  Working with Parameter Contexts NiFi Toolkit CLI No More Spaghetti Flows Report on this Apache NiFi Everything Apache Nifi Cloudera Data Platform - Using Apache NiFi REST API in the Public Cloud Using NiFi CLI to Restore NiFi Flows From Backups Automating the Building, Migration, Backup, Restore and Testing of Streaming Applications Apache NiFi Toolkit Guide An overview of Apache NiFi and Toolkit CLI deployments Automate workflow deployment in Apache NiFi with the NiFi Registry DevOps for Apache NiFi 1.7 and More ...
