-------------------------------------
Summary: Allow ControllerServices access to ProvenanceReporter
Key: NIFI-1018
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1018
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Brandon DeVries
Currently we maintain a provenance trail for all files flowing through NiFi
Processors. However, if a ControllerService uses some data set it generally
just loads it from disk after it is fetched using a normal NiFi flow. However,
this breaks the provenance trail for the data set... there is no way (in
provenance terms) of knowing what data set the ControllerService is using or
when it was loaded. By giving ControllerServices access to the
ProvenanceReporter, they can acknowledge "receipt" of a data set, so the
provenance trail from pull to use is maintained.
