Oleg, this is actually a great idea, I will follow it for certain (a good compromise, too). I have an additional question on the onTrigger method for my Post Http. Among the main NiFi components, my custom processor contains a number of separate methods, in particular one that send a Post HTTP request to an endpoint and return a Json response. The method takes a number of parameter such as userId, password, etc and this is where I am rather confused when it comes to the operations I should be perform in my on Trigger. I have the following:
@Override public void onTrigger(final ProcessContext context, final ProcessSession session) throws ProcessException { FlowFile flowFile = session.get(); if (flowFile == null) return; final String userId = context.getProperty(USER_ID).getValue(); final String password = context.getProperty(PASSWORD).getValue(); final String http_post_url = context.getProperty(HTTP_POST_URL).getValue(); final AtomicReference<String> httpPostRequestHolder = new AtomicReference<>(); session.read(flowFile, new InputStreamCallback() { @Override public void process(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException { StringWriter strWriter = new StringWriter(); IOUtils.copy(inputStream, strWriter, "UTF-8"); httpPostRequestHolder.set(userId); httpPostRequestHolder.set(password); httpPostRequestHolder.set(http_post_url); } }); try { postHttpRequest(userId, password, http_post_url); session.transfer(flowFile, SUCCESS); } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) { session.transfer(flowFile, FAILURE); ex.printStackTrace(); } Is that what I am supposed to do? Is that correct? I am trying to process the inputstream and convert it into an AtomicReference object with the same arguments as the one passed in the postHttpRequest method. Does it make sense? Thank you again for all your help, so much appreciated! -- View this message in context: http://apache-nifi-developer-list.39713.n7.nabble.com/Is-my-custom-processor-doing-too-many-things-OnTrigger-question-tp9225p9232.html Sent from the Apache NiFi Developer List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
