Heya folks! Last week I worked through using the Hadoop Precommit Patch Tester to evaluate NiFi patches[1].
Most of the edges have been sanded down. There is still one outstanding major change that's needed to deal with NiFi's multi-project repo layout [2]. That fix is more involved, because it's providing a major boost in the flexibility of the precommit framework (yay!) so I'm not sure when it's going to land. I have a work around for that particular issue for the specifics of NiFi's layout[3]. However, it is definitely not what will be in the version that is committed and the way NiFi hooks into the test framework will be different once things settle. Would folks prefer to wait for the fix before using the precommit tester or run on top of my workaround for now (changing once the fix lands)?
