Hi everyone,

We're looking for community members, who would like to maintain Flink's
NiFi connector [1] going forward. The connector currently is available as a
Source and Sink for DataStream users and it hasn't been maintained in the
past couple of years.

An overview of some of the things that are missing on the NiFi connector:

* Not using the Source API [2] for the Source
* Not using the Unified Sink API [3] or ASync API [4] for the Sink
* Can't be used in the Table API / SQL
* Not available for Lookups (if possible)

If you would like to take on this responsibility or can join this effort in
a supporting role, please reach out!

If we can't find maintainers for this connector, I'll open up a vote to
deprecate this connector and remove it.

I'm looking forward to your thoughts.

Best regards,

Martijn Visser
