Description

The "Node Group" property was introduced to let configuring node policies easier in a more dynamic environment. This feature is a base for future custom UserGroupProviders to provide a Group and the list of contained nodes dynamically. However in it's current form (if left empty) will throw an exception that would end in a confusing user experience as NiFi will fail to start.
