Description

Raising a JIRA issue as discussed with mattyb149 as part of PR-475.

Users using particular Hadoop versions may struggle to use *HDFS against a cluster running proprietary or particular versions of HDFS.

Therefore, until we find a cleaner way of BYO hadoop machanism (as suggested in NIFI-710), we should consider introducing a maven profiles to support different hadoop library, enabling users to compile.

This should cause no changes to default behaviour, just eliminating the need to clone, modify, build and copy NAR bundles over standard NiFi artifacts.

Unless the profile is explicitly requested, build will still includes just the Apache licensed artifacts.
