Hi Jon, The NiFi and MiNiFi releases are very loosely coupled — in general, any MiNiFi version will work with any NiFi version (thus far). The only real concerns when aligning versions is the availability of specific processors in NiFi being included in the JVM version of MiNiFi. Communication between the two instances is usually via Site-to-Site protocol, which is robust and we take pains not to introduce any compatibility-breaking changes in minor releases anyway. In addition, you can use a variety of other communication mechanisms (FTP, file system, HTTP, MQTT, etc.) from both endpoints if necessary.
I have personally run MiNiFi 0.5.0 and 0.6.0-SNAPSHOT against NiFi 1.8.0, 1.9.0, and 1.10.0-SNAPSHOT without encountering any problems.
