absolutely.  Reopened.  We don't have to rush it - just need to improve it. 
Thanks

I still think a diagram in the site-to-site docs would be very helpful.

The specific context of the ask is in a discussion about the NiFi->Spark 
Streaming site2site integration, it wasn't clear that using a single nifi 
node's address would automatically cause a Spark Streaming job to connect to 
and pull data from the rest of the NiFi nodes in the cluster.

Should this JIRA be re-opened or do we need another JIRA?

@randerzander 

I feel like instance, or something to that effect, is the right terminology 
here.  We could clarify that an instance is a standalone node or a cluster in 
conjunction with the other items added.  Cluster is a bit overloaded as there 
is a distinction in the NiFi world between a standalone instance, a cluster of 
one, and a cluster of many.  Thoughts?
