Team, It looks like we're reaching a point in which it is time to close in on 1.10.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6595?jql=project%20%3D%20NIFI%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%201.10.0 There are 250+ issues in there nearly 240 of which are already resolved. I haven't gone through yet for fully analyzing but the awesome Java 11 work Jeff Storck and others has done means we can now build on Java 11 as well as run on it. There is a ton of great work on parameters which will make managing flows at scale much easier. We will need to drop some nars which means we have some migration guidance to update. I'd like to volunteer as RM but if there are any other takers please let me know. As we close in on releases this tends to create a lot of urgency to quickly try to get new things in. I will try to manage this well. As always we can do another release. There is no timeline pushing us to have such gaps between releases...we can always do another feature release. That said, PR review bandwidth is at a super premium. We receive a lot more PRs than we do receive reviews. We'll have to work this as the PR depth grows. Thanks Joe
