NiFi

This topic provides an overview of Apache NiFi on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.

Starting from EEP 9.0.0, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric supports Apache NiFi.

Apache NiFi is a dataflow system based on the concepts of flow-based programming which supports powerful and scalable directed graphs of data routing, transformation, and system mediation logic. NiFi has a web-based user interface for the design, control, feedback, and monitoring of dataflows.

The following diagram shows the NiFi architecture:

To transfer data in and out of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric, NiFi supports the following sources and sinks.

SQL Databases (MySQL, Postgres, etc.)
NoSQL Databases (MongoDB, Redis, etc.)
File storage (S3 compatible, SMB, FTP)
Cloud services (GCP, Azure, AWS)
HTTP requests
Other
