Hi James,

The processor may or may not work with older versions of NiFi (1.x.0). But 
should work with
newer versions of NiFi (1.z.0). That's because there may be a feature of the 
nifi-api that you use
in 1.y.0 and we can guarantee that will not be removed in 1.z.0 but it did not 
exist in 1.x.0.

Thanks
-Mark

Processor forwards/backwards compatibility

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/Version+Scheme+and+API+Compatibility
but I'm still not quite clear:

I develop my own custom Processor against NiFi v. 1.y.0

Should that processor work with older NiFi releases 1.x.0 (x
