Building a Simple Custom Processor With Apache Ni-Fi
2024-7-24 21:33:11 Author: hackernoon.com(查看原文) 阅读量:5 收藏

Apache NiFi is a powerful tool for automating data flows with a large number of built-in processors. However, sometimes there is a need for specific processors to handle unique requirements and data stores. In such cases, creating custom processors becomes a necessity. In this article, we will go through the steps to create a very simple custom processor for Apache NiFi.

Setup and sources

gradle setup

dependencies {
	compile "org.apache.nifi:nifi-api:*"
	compile "org.apache.nifi:nifi-utils:1.9.2"
	testCompile "org.apache.nifi:nifi-mock:1.9.2"
}

public class MyProcessor extends AbstractProcessor {

    public static final PropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor = new PropertyDescriptor
            .Builder().name("name")
            .displayName("name")
            .description("Name to print")
            .required(true)
            .addValidator(StandardValidators.NON_EMPTY_VALIDATOR)
            .expressionLanguageSupported(ExpressionLanguageScope.FLOWFILE_ATTRIBUTES)
            .build();

    public static final Relationship successRelations = new Relationship.Builder()
            .name("success")
            .description("If everything is ok")
            .build();

    public static final Relationship failureRelations = new Relationship.Builder()

            .build();

    private List<PropertyDescriptor> descriptorList;

    private Set<Relationship> relationshipSet;

    @Override
    protected void init(final ProcessorInitializationContext context) {
        final List<PropertyDescriptor> descriptors = new ArrayList<PropertyDescriptor>();
        descriptors.add(propertyDescriptor);
        this.descriptorList = Collections.unmodifiableList(descriptors);

        final Set<Relationship> relationships = new HashSet<Relationship>();
        relationships.add(successRelations);
        relationships.add(failureRelations);
        this.relationshipSet = Collections.unmodifiableSet(relationships);
    }

    public Set<Relationship> getRelationshipSet() {
        return this.relationshipSet;
    }

    @Override
    public final List<PropertyDescriptor> getSupportedPropertyDescriptors() {
        return descriptorList;
    }

    @OnScheduled
    public void onScheduled(final ProcessContext context) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onTrigger(final ProcessContext context, final ProcessSession session) throws ProcessException {
        FlowFile flowFile = session.get();
        if (flowFile == null) {
            return;
        }

        try {
            String name = context.getProperty(propertyDescriptor).evaluateAttributeExpressions(flowFile).getValue();

            String result = "Hello " + name;
            session.putAttribute(flowFile, "result", result);

            try (OutputStream flowFileOutputStream = session.write(flowFile)) {
                flowFileOutputStream.write(result.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
            }

            session.transfer(flowFile, successRelations);
        } catch (IOException e) {
		        //IO Error processing error log
		        session.transfer(flowFile, failureRelations);
		    } catch (ProcessException e) {
				    // Process error log
		        getLogger().error("Processing error", e);
		        session.transfer(flowFile, failureRelations);
		    }
    }
}

Build and deploy

  • Build the project with Gradle: gradle build.
  • Find the generated .nar file in the target folder of your module.
  • Copy the .nar file to the lib folder of your NiFi installation.
