Chapter 15: Real-Time Edge Data with MiNiFi, Kafka, and Spark
In this chapter, you will learn how Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, small computers, and sensors can send data into a data pipeline using Apache NiFi. For computers or devices with little processing power, MiNiFi allows them to be part of a NiFi data pipeline. MiNiFi is a lightweight version of NiFi with a stripped-down set of processors and no graphical user interface. It is built to send data using a data pipeline built into NiFi and deployed to the device.
In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:
- Setting up MiNiFi on a device
- Building and deploying a MiNiFi task in NiFi
