Description

Currently there's only 1 implementation of Parameter Context which is standard parameter context. It would be nice if it would be possible to provide to nifi your own implementation. In our case we've got a service which is leveraging AWS KMS to store credentials and some additional stuff, but current implementation doesn't support connecting to it or providing any way to add custom Parameter Context.

 

It would be nice if we could provide custom implementation which would then be used in nifi (it would get serialized/deserialized etc.) get spread on the nodes in cluster mode.
