minifi-api/include/minifi-cpp/controllers/RecordSetReader.h

    .artifact = "minifi-system",
    .group = "org.apache.nifi.minifi",
    .type = "org.apache.nifi.minifi.core.RecordSetReader",
+    .version = "1.0.0"


I think the version of components shipped with minifi should always match the minifi version, what do you think?

changed it to use the minifi version

core-framework/include/core/controller/ControllerServiceBase.h

+ * Controller Service base class that contains some pure virtual methods.
+ *
+ * Design: OnEnable is executed when the controller service is being enabled.
+ * Note that keeping state here must be protected  in this function.


I don't understand this sentence, could you elaborate or rephrase?

outdated, updated it

+  ControllerServiceDescriptor* descriptor_{nullptr};
+  ControllerServiceContext* context_{nullptr};


A comment describing the lifetimes (what guarantees that these will remain alive throughout the ControllerService lifetime) would be nice here.

        }
        if (thread_manager_->isAboveMax(current_workers_)) {
-          auto max = thread_manager_->getMaxConcurrentTasks();
+          auto max = 1;  // thread_manager_->getMaxConcurrentTasks();


why did this change? leftover debug thing?

removed the whole thread management logic/controller service

Pull request overview

Refactors MiNiFi C++ controller service APIs to reduce/reshape the exposed surface area, introducing a new “API/implementation” split and updating call sites across core, extensions, and tests.

Changes:

Introduces new controller-service API types (API, context, descriptor, factory, metadata) and reworks controller service registration/lookup.
Replaces many direct ControllerServiceImpl usages with ControllerServiceBase + ControllerServiceInterface and wraps implementations in a new core::controller::ControllerService.
Updates thread pool/controller service wiring and adjusts numerous unit/integration tests to the new controller service access patterns.

there are now some trivial build issues, but those aside really good job, I've implemented the MVP controller service C api based on this (#2096) also some warning fixes in this area (#2098) which I've encountered during my review

long story short thanks awesome work
