Mark Payne commented on NIFI-1116:
----------------------------------
[~joewitt] - I'm not sure that I understand how this would work. The lineage
view is in fact a chronological view of what happened and is not related to
different components on the graph. Changing the placement on the graph so that
it appears next to some other event I think is less intuitive. Especially if we
consider that the same processor could potentially operate on the data multiple
times.
I do understand the initial intuition that the event should be located next to
other events that happened by the same component, but the Lineage view is
intended to be chronological, and I think if we tried to change something like
that, it would become quasi-chronological and lead to more confusion.

> If you replay a flowfile there is now a nice/clear REPLAY event which is
> great. But where it gets placed on the graph is surprising. I believe it
> should extend from the event for the component that processed that event
> originally when possible. It appears to use timing as the ordering mechanism
> on the graph. Can we make this better/more intuitive?
