Matt Burgess commented on NIFI-1407:
------------------------------------
An important thing to capture here is detailed use cases. The email threads
(and the current description) have listed some workarounds such as very large
schedule times or pressing Start then Stop (the latter assuming that the
processor will be scheduled immediately and pressing Stop will not interrupt
the current processing; rather it prevents it from being scheduled again).
Having said that, some use cases may result in data flows that have multiple
processors and/or use Expression Language to iterate over a discrete number of
flow files. This "run N times" would support such cases without manual
intervention.
If you are interested in this feature, please add your use case(s) to this Jira
so that the issue is fully understood, then a solution can take them into
account.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Joseph Percivall
> Priority: Minor
>
> This is an issue that has arisen from multiple different users on the users
> thread. They would like a way to configure processors to run N times in order
> to facilitate one-time/initial-import scenario.
> The current work around is to set a very large time schedule time and then
> manually click start and then click stop.
