In NIFI-305, we refactored a parent class for MergeContent so the binning functionality could be reused. In practice, this isn't quite useful yet, because BinFiles is still in the nifi-standard-processors, which contains an org.apache.nifi.processor.Processor file. Therefore, any processor that tries to extend BinFiles must automatically pull in all the processors in nifi-standard-processors, which is probably undesirable if it's an extension.
Is there anywhere in the code we could put parent classes like this for extensibility purposes? Thanks, Joe -- I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. *-Philippians 4:12-13*
