Nifi Processors for ingesting and converting geo data using GeoMesa and GeoTools

GeoMesa NiFi

See the official GeoMesa documentation for details.

Development

Requirements:

• Java JDK 8
• Maven 3.6 or later

GeoMesa NiFi builds with Maven:

mvn clean install

After building, NiFi can be run for local testing through the provided script:

./build/run-nifi.sh <nar-to-mount>

The script requires the name of a back-end NAR to mount, such as accumulo21 or kafka. Run the script without any arguments to see the available NARs. Once started, NiFi can be accessed at http://localhost:8080/nifi. The default credentials are nifi/nifipassword. There is a small flow already bundled, which will attempt to ingest a few thousand rows of GDELT data. The flow does not include a data store service, which must be configured depending on the NAR being mounted and the local environment.
