## Features
|
|
|
|
Apache NiFi supports powerful and scalable directed graphs of data routing, transformation, and system mediation logic. Some of the high-level capabilities and objectives of Apache NiFi include:
|
|
|
|
- Web-based user interface for seamless experience between design, control, feedback, and monitoring of data flows
|
|
- Highly configurable along several dimensions of quality of service such as loss tolerant versus guaranteed delivery, low latency versus high throughput, and priority based queuing
|
|
- Fine-grained data provenance for all data received, forked, joined, cloned, modified, sent, and ultimately dropped as data reaches its configured end-state
|
|
- Component-based extension model along well defined interfaces enabling rapid development and effective testing
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Execute <nifi install dir>/bin/nifi.sh start
|

## Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
Apache NiFi is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software
|
|
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC.
|
|
|
|
Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
|
|
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process
|
|
have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
|
|
|
|
While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness
|
|
or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be
|
|
fully endorsed by the ASF.

## 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
|
|
