             Summary: Class org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.RunNiFi is not designed 
with extensibility in mind
                 Key: NIFI-4147
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4147
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Framework
            Reporter: Peter Horvath


Class org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.RunNiFi was not designed with extensibility in 
mind. This class is used to bootstrap the runtime; the current implementation 
does not support extending the class with different behaviour, that would be 
essential to bootstrap the engine within an integration test. 

This class should be changed so that it can be easily subclassed, allowing it 
to be later extended within an integration test runner:
* The verbose parameter within the RunNiFi constructor is not used: eliminate it
* getBootstrapConfFile() is static, which means it cannot easily be overridden 
in a test stub: replace with an instance method, which can be overridden
* Methods getPidFile, getStatusFile, getLockFile, getStatusFile are package 
protected, preventing these methods to be stubbed for an integration test: make 
them protected so that they can be overridden from a subclass (allowing an 
integration test runner to override default behaviour in a test run)

*Please note these changes are baby-steps towards the implementation of a NiFi 
integration test harness.*
