Since the convenience binaries include the scripting extension [2], Python support is needed per our README [1] For some additional assistance, a package with configuration files for both a MiNiFI instance and a NiFi instance available at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MINIFI/Releasing+MiNiFi#ReleasingMiNiFi-SampleNiFiandMiNiFiConfigurationtotransmitdatafromMiNiFitoNiFiviaSitetoSite The provided sample configuration bundle assumes that NiFi is configured to listen on port 8081 and has 10001 configured for Site to Site's nifi.remote.input.socket.port. # Send a response to the vote thread indicating a +1, 0, -1 based on your findings. Thank you for your time and effort to validate the release!
