Java

NiFi requires Java 11 (note this is not the latest Java version).

There are now several different builds of Java (not just Oracle).

There's a list at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/java/java-tutorial#_installing-a-java-development-kit-jdk

I used this one https://www.microsoft.com/openjdk

First questions

• What is NiFi?

• How do I create a program in NiFi?

• What sorts of things can NiFi do?

• Can I extend NiFi? If so, how?

Suggested spikes

• Create a really short and simple guide to getting started with NiFi

• Create a cool demo

Resources

NiFi is a visual programming language, so the easiest way to learn how to get started is from videos.
