-Apache NiFi is a dataflow system based on the concepts of flow-based
programming. It is currently a part of the Apache Incubator.
+Apache NiFi is an easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and
distribute data.
## Features
-Apache NiFi supports powerful and scalable directed graphs of data routing,
transformation, and system mediation logic. Some of the high-level capabilities
and objectives of Apache NiFi include:
+Apache NiFi was born for dataflow. It supports highly configurable directed
graphs of data routing, transformation, and system mediation logic. Some of
its key features include:
-- Web-based user interface for seamless experience between design, control,
feedback, and monitoring of data flows
-- Highly configurable along several dimensions of quality of service such as
loss tolerant versus guaranteed delivery, low latency versus high throughput,
and priority based queuing
-- Fine-grained data provenance for all data received, forked, joined, cloned,
modified, sent, and ultimately dropped as data reaches its configured end-state
-- Component-based extension model along well defined interfaces enabling rapid
development and effective testing
-- Security: Supports various forms of SSL, SSH, HTTPS for system to system
flows and content encryption/decryption. And SSL, PKI, pluggable authorization
for users.
