Description

Much like the efforts of MINIFI-12, it would also be convenient for a configuration in which an instance could reach out to a defined endpoint to poll for changes and bring those into the associated bootstrap process to activate a change in processing.

Considerations include the mechanism in which polling occurs and how this is exposed. A way of knowing if the flow is new, likely bound to the efforts of MINIFI-35. In one case, it is conceivable that an instance could reach out to a NiFi instance and its associated API to receive configuration.
