Description

It seems that Apache Nifi currently has a lot of features potential PLC4X users could be looking for. Especially as Nifi is currently gaining more and more traction, I think it would be a good idea to have an integration module for this.

The API for providing such integrations (called "Processors") is a little less structured as with Kafka Connect, so it would probably be a "ConsumePlc4x" and a "PublishPlc4x" component that would have to be developed.

It seems there is even a Maven archetype to setup such a module:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.nifi -DarchetypeArtifactId=nifi-processor-bundle-archetype
