------------------------------------
Summary: gRPC processor
Key: NIFI-3641
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3641
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Bryan Rosander
"gRPC is a modern open source high performance RPC framework that can run in
any environment. It can efficiently connect services in and across data centers
with pluggable support for load balancing, tracing, health checking and
authentication. It is also applicable in last mile of distributed computing to
connect devices, mobile applications and browsers to backend services." [1]
It would be useful to be able to interact with gRPC services in NiFi. A first
step would be to have a processor that can take a .proto file or files and then
use the generated code to talk to a gRPC server. Having a Site-To-Site gRPC
implementation could also be useful though as it should be very easy to port to
any of the supported platforms. [2]
This should allow us to interact with Tensor Flow among other things.
