>             Project: Apache NiFi
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Core Framework
>            Reporter: Sevag Keosseian

>            Priority: Minor

>          Time Spent: 2h
>  Remaining Estimate: 0h

> StandardConnectorTestRunner uses shared mutable directories under 
> target/work, while its NiFi properties use shared repository and storage 
> paths under target/nifi-storage.
> When multiple runners execute concurrently, they create separate mock NiFi 
> instances but can write to the same:
>  - FlowFile, content, database, and NAR repositories
>  - WAL and state files
>  - Assets and connector assets
>  - Unpacked NAR working directories
>  - Jetty working directories
> This can cause cross-writes, repository corruption, startup failures, or one 
> runner’s shutdown affecting another runner.
> NIFI-16183 increased the graceful shutdown timeout, which widened the 
> collision window but did not cause the underlying shared-filesystem problem. 
> Its shutdown behavior should remain unchanged.
> Proposed behavior
> Add an optional API:
> {code:java}
> StandardConnectorTestRunner.Builder.instanceDirectory(File){code}
> When supplied, all mutable NiFi paths must be derived from that instance 
> root. The configured NAR library directory remains shared and read-only.
> When no instance directory is supplied, preserve the existing directory 
> behavior for backward compatibility.
> Continue using OS-assigned HTTP ports by default.
> Caller-provided instance directories remain caller-owned and must not be 
> deleted when the runner closes or bootstrap fails.
> Acceptance criteria
>  - Separate instance roots isolate all mutable paths.
>  - The NAR library directory remains shared.
>  - Two runners can start and stop concurrently without cross-writing.
>  - Closing one runner does not affect the other.
>  - Caller-provided directories are retained after shutdown and bootstrap 
> failure.
>  - Existing builder APIs remain compatible.
>  - Default port selection remains OS-assigned.
>  - Existing behavior is preserved when instanceDirectory is omitted.
>  - NIFI-16183 shutdown timeout behavior is unchanged.
> Verification
> {code:java}
> ./mvnw \
>   -pl
