I work for an IT consultancy firm, and we have some customers asking for it right now (mostly in the banking sector).
The reason is Horton works deprecated Apache Flume and bundled Nifi instead.
Personally I don't like it. I prefer other ETL tools like Talend. I also find confusing the user interface.
The good part is that NIFi processed are buffered, and you can keep metadata (like data provenance) with the records which is very helpful for compliance.
