Andre

Thanks - read through https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1657
where this was discussed and where the relevant multi-env commit came
in.

Seems like five environments may be too taxing based on the build
failures I'm observing.  I'll cut it down to three
FR
JP
US
For now.  We can evaluate if that helps at all and add more back if
things become stable.

Thanks
Joe
