Description

In MiNiFiMain.cpp, extensions are loaded at line 305 (createFlowConfiguration() -> FlowConfiguration constructor), but the repositories (provenance/flow/content) are loaded earlier, at lines 263, 272 and 281.

This means that repository types contained in an extension, eg. FlowFileRepository and DatabaseContentRepository, cannot be created, and Minifi always falls back to using a VolatileFlowFileRepository and VolatileContentRepository instead.

A consequence of this, for example, is that flow files larger than 7,864,320 bytes cannot be created, because this is the size limit set in VolatileContentRepository.
