> From nifi-user:
> {quote}Short answer: Unfortunately this is not currently possible for Jython
> in NiFi 1.7.0+ because of a Jython bug [1] that never made it into a
> release.
>
> Longer answer: NIFI-5287 [2], released as part of NiFi 1.7.0,
> introduced a new default interface method for LookupService, in order
> to avoid breaking API compatibility for those with custom
> LookupServices. This exposes the bug in [1] for the Jython script
> engine. At a major release point (NiFi 2.0) we could refactor the NiFi
> codebase to remove the default interface method, update all internal
> implementations, and announce that the LookupService API has changed
> and thus custom implementations would have to be updated. Not sure if
> we can get away with that for minor releases or not, usually breaking
> API compatibility is a no-no except for major releases.
