# NiFi Ingest

NiFi Ingest is a collection of plug-ins for the Apache NiFi framework that helps you use Apache NiFi to build a custom ingestion pipeline for IDOL. You can create an ingestion pipeline based on NiFi, instead of deploying IDOL Connectors and IDOL Connector Framework Server.

NiFi Ingest, combined with the Apache NiFi framework, provides features that:

- Improve visibility. Apache NiFi provides a graphical interface that you use to build your ingestion pipeline. When you start ingesting documents, you can use the same interface to monitor processing speed and queue sizes, and identify bottlenecks and ingestion errors. The Apache NiFi framework also has built-in support for tracking documents through the ingestion process.
- Improve customization. You can create an ingestion pipeline that is customized to your use case, with less need for custom Lua scripts.
- Improve control. You can stop parts of the ingestion pipeline and make changes, without stopping the entire system.
- Improve performance and reliability. Apache NiFi can scale to process extremely large volumes of data. You can distribute processing across multiple NiFi instances.

NiFi Ingest provides processors that connect to your data repositories, in a similar way to IDOL Connectors. The NiFi Ingest distribution also provides processors that enrich your data, in a similar way to CFS import tasks. For example, the distribution includes a processor for KeyView filtering and a processor for sending files to an IDOL Media Server for further analysis.
