Description

There are two methods to load a native library in Java:

• java.lang.System.loadLibrary(String libname) - where libname is the native library's logical name
• java.lang.System.load(String filename) - where filename if the native library's absolute path

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6884 resolved the classloader isolation problem for the loadLibrary(String libname) way.

It should be handled in case of load(String filename) too.
