             Summary: Change format for configuring repositories in 
nifi.properties file
                 Key: NIFI-1006
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1006
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configuration, Core Framework
            Reporter: Mark Payne
             Fix For: 1.0.0


Currently, the Content Repository, FlowFile Repository, and Provenance 
Repository are all configured within the nifi.properties file. This includes 
the repository implementation to use and all properties for those repositories. 
This becomes quite confusing to configure, and it makes it very difficult to 
provide examples of each of these repositories.

I would like to see this changed to a format like is used to configure the 
Authority Providers. This way, in the nifi.properties file, we would configure 
just two things: the .xml file that includes the repository configurations 
(with IDs) and the ID of the repository to use.

This also makes it far easier to create a repository that may wrap one or more 
other repositories, by defining them all in the .xml file and then specifying 
the ID of the 'wrapping' repository as the one to use.
