Matt Gilman commented on RANGER-1697:
-------------------------------------
Exclude policies are not something that NiFi intended to support. I believe it
may have been an oversight when this was originally contributed. Is it possible
to leave any existing exclude policies in place (maybe in read only form) until
the user explicitly replaces it? I do not believe it will be possible to
automatically convert it into an equivalent 'include/normal' policy.

> Apache NiFi would like to update the service def file to ensure more
> consistent policy support between NiFi and Ranger. NiFi is in the process of
> introducing an improved Ranger authorizer that allows the policies to be
> viewed in NiFi UI for easier, in app, understanding of the policies
> configured in Ranger UI. This effort is being tracked with this JIRA [1].
> I would like to supply a patch with updates to the NiFi service def file.
> Thanks!
