Re: NiFi versions and remote process groups

[Koji Kawamura]

Hello Russell,

You should be able to connect NiFi 1.0.0 to NiFi 0.7.1 via RemoteProcessGroup.
Please check this Gist, I confirmed that it works:
https://gist.github.com/ijokarumawak/37e428d5be8ce8031220f87c5ee9601c

Did you wait for a while and refresh the canvas and RemoteProcessGroup
on NiFI 1.0? Sometimes it takes a while for the RPG to recognize
remote ports availability due to its async nature.

Thanks,
Koji

NiFi versions and remote process groups

[Russell Bateman]

Should I be able to wire a remote process group on a NiFi 1.0.0 canvas 
to an input port on a 0.7.1 canvas? (Neither is a cluster.)


I have an input port in 0.7.1, but when I click the "circle-arrow" icon 
on my NiFi 1.0.0 remote process group and drag it, I get


'NiFi Flow' does not have any output ports (true, it doesn't)
'NiFi Flow' does not have any input ports (false, there is one).

When I try to connect the output of a processor in my NiFi 1.0.0 
instance, I also get

'NiFi Flow' does not have any input ports.

I presume 'NiFi Flow' refers to my running NiFi 0.7.1 instance (since 
that's its name in the title bar of the browser).


I've examined:
