Jamie,
Sorry you didn't get a response. I'm happy to confirm that this is the correct
list for your question. There is no well-beaten path for running NiFi in
another process, NiFi assumes that it is deployed as it's own process. NiFi
contains a number of features for classloader isolation, thread management, and
performance monitoring that may mean something different in another process,
although I can't say for sure they will break.
Hopefully, some others can chime in on the pitfalls.
Thanks,
James
