Simple utilities for working with Apache NiFi FlowFile bundles

1. Let's you fabricate FlowFile bundles/packages via config file for use with testing etc.

2. Todo: Cmd line utility to extract attributes & payloads of flow files based on some simple criteria like an id etc. (maybe use JEXL for context evaluation on the attribute map)

Instructions

Build

mvn clean package will build a jar with dependencies

Run

Print out usage/help message

java -jar target/flowfile-utility-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar --help

Based on your config file (see reference.json for an example) a flow file bundle will be built with the configured attributes and specified payload.

Example

This will use reference.json and create an output test.flowfile.pkg file

java -jar target/flowfile-utility-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
