Features
Apache NiFi was made for dataflow. It supports highly configurable directed graphs of data routing, transformation, and system mediation logic. Some of its key features include:
- Web-based user interface
- Seamless experience for design, control, and monitoring
- Highly configurable
- Loss tolerant vs guaranteed delivery
- Low latency vs high throughput
- Dynamic prioritization
- Flows can be modified at runtime
- Back pressure
- Data Provenance
- Track dataflow from beginning to end
- Designed for extension
- Build your own processors and more
- Enables rapid development and effective testing
- Secure
- SSL, SSH, HTTPS, encrypted content, etc...
- Pluggable role-based authentication/authorization
Getting Started
To start NiFi:
- [linux/osx] execute bin/nifi.sh start
- [windows] execute bin/start-nifi.bat
- Direct your browser to http://localhost:8080/nifi/
Getting Help
If you have questions, you can reach out to our mailing list: dev@nifi.apache.org (archive). We're also often available in IRC: #nifi on irc.freenode.net.
Requirements
- JDK 1.7 or higher

Export Control
This distribution includes cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption software, to see if this is permitted. See http://www.wassenaar.org/ for more information.
The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object code and source code.
The following provides more details on the included cryptographic software:
Apache NiFi uses BouncyCastle, Jasypt, JCraft Inc., and the built-in java cryptography libraries for SSL, SSH, and the protection of sensitive configuration parameters. See http://bouncycastle.org/about.html http://www.jasypt.org/faq.html http://jcraft.com/c-info.html http://www.oracle.com/us/products/export/export-regulations-345813.html for more details on each of these libraries cryptography features.
