With NiFi 1.1 onward, support to load resources to classpath dynamically is
supported. I read the articles related to this on:

I understand we can make a property this way by setting
PropertyDescriptor.dynamicallyModifiesClasspath(true). I want to know how
this gets communicated with the framework and the framework handles this. I
dug more and found that ExtensionManager. createInstanceClassLoader() does
this job. Correct me, if I'm wrong. If that's the case, I want to know how
the internal call happens i.e. setting dynamicallyModifiesClassPath
triggers the instance class loader.
