Tony Kurc updated NIFI-1139:
----------------------------
Description:
There are certain pieces of a FlowFile that are not attributes (entryDate,
lineageDate, and fileSize); howwver, the output from a logAttribute processor
identifies them as FlowFile attributes. These items should be labeled as
FlowFile properties.
--------------------------------------------------
Standard FlowFile Attributes
Key: 'entryDate'
Value: 'Tue Nov 10 09:02:01 EST 2015'
Key: 'lineageStartDate'
Value: 'Tue Nov 10 09:02:01 EST 2015'
Key: 'fileSize'
Value: '10240'
FlowFile Attribute Map Content
Key: 'divideby3'
Value: '-7'
Key: 'divideby5'
.....
----------------------------------------------------------
Need to change the output wording:
"Standard FlowFile Attributes" should be "Standard FlowFile Properties"
I also think uuid should be included under this section.
We want to avoid confusion for the users. All Attributes are stored as
strings. Properties are not attributes and are not stored as strings. That
distinction directly correlates to how the expression language can interact
with these values.
