For information on calling the Ingest service, see Search Ingest Service API.
A descriptor is a template that is used to create a connector in NiFi. The Ingest
API offers the following methods of managing connectors. In the context of this
documentation, connector refers to a descriptor that has been created, whereas a
descriptor refers to a connector template. This is similar to the concepts of
Class and Object in Java where a connector
is an Object and a descriptor is a Class.
