What's New in Flow Management

Learn about the new Flow Management features in Cloudera DataFlow for Data Hub 7.2.14.

This release of Flow Management is based on the latest version of Apache NiFi 1.15 and includes significant improvements. Here are some important new features:

Improved NiFi UI responsiveness
The experience when using NiFi (UI) with flows containing thousands or tens of thousands of components is improved (NIFI-9309).
Parameter Contexts inheritance
Provides the ability to leverage the Parameter Contexts in a more flexible way in multi-tenant environments (NIFI-8490).
Improved Hadoop-related processors class loading
Improves how class loading isolation works around the UserGroupInformation class for Hadoop-related components. This improves startup time for NiFi when using thousands of these components (NIFI-9382).
ExecuteStateless processor
The option to execute flows in NiFi while using the Stateless implementation. Improves performance for specific flows as well as providing exactly-once operations in some cases (NIFI-9239).
Components validation
Provides a way to validate and get insights about a component's configuration in NiFi's (UI) configuration view (NIFI-9009).
New components
New processors for ElasticSearch, new Scripted processors to better support custom business logic while processing data, new processors to use PGP for signing/verifying content, a new email record sink for monitoring purposes to be used with reporting tasks.
Apache Pulsar integration in partnership with StreamNative
New processors and controller service to interact with Apache Pulsar. These new components are built, supported and maintained by StreamNative.
