Raj, You can use NiFi to replace aspects of these things for general purpose cases. In some narrow but important cases it is a reasonable thing to do but I do not recommend it generally.
Kafka will be far faster and better than NiFi at acting like Kafka. RabbitMQ will be too. I recommend thinking about your architecture in such a way that has both messaging and flow management. You can see more about my thoughts on this subject here [1].
