Will check it out and get back to you. > Create FocusArchive processor > ----------------------------- > > Key: MINIFICPP-39 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFICPP-39 > Project: NiFi MiNiFi C++ > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Andrew Christianson > Assignee: Andrew Christianson > Priority: Minor > > Create an FocusArchive processor which implements a lens over an archive > (tar, etc.). A concise, though informal, definition of a lens is as follows: > "Essentially, they represent the act of “peering into” or “focusing in on” > some particular piece/path of a complex data object such that you can more > precisely target particular operations without losing the context or > structure of the overall data you’re working with." > https://medium.com/@dtipson/functional-lenses-d1aba9e52254#.hdgsvbraq > Why an FocusArchive in MiNiFi? Simply put, it will enable us to "focus in on" > an entry in the archive, perform processing *in-context* of that entry, then > re-focus on the overall archive. This allows for transformation or other > processing of an entry in the archive without losing the overall context of > the archive. > Initial format support is tar, due to its simplicity and ubiquity. > Attributes: > - Path (the path in the archive to focus; "/" to re-focus the overall archive) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
