Joseph Witt updated NIFI-404:
-----------------------------
Description:
Need to explain that native libraries existing in the native/ directory are
isolated to that NAR and explain how to add native libraries to that directory
via Maven.
Our documentation for how the NAR Classloader works and its purpose does not
clearly call out the limitations. For example, if one wants to use some version
of Jetty or logback can they? How so? We need to show a clear diagram of how
the NAR classloading works and so on so folks can more readily reason over it.
NAR stuff is very powerful and helpful but today it is a bit too magical
without this complete documentation.
