Scott commented on NIFI-958:
----------------------------
My use case for the PutFile is when using the Monitor Activity, I get a
consistent flow of "Activity restored" or "Inactive for X Min" files, which I
put into an update attribute to change the filename to be
${now():format('yyyyMMdd')} and then the activity gets appended to the bottom
of the file, rotating the file by day.
I then have other processes, splunk for example that read that file and also
allows us to tail -f in the same way we would a regular log file.
I am already using this in production, which is why I have only included the
PutFile not the HDFS one as I have not used that yet.
Hope all that makes sense, if not let me know.
