Mark Payne commented on NIFI-483:
---------------------------------

I think the solution here is not to add a new Scheduling Strategy but rather to 
divorce the concepts of "Primary Node Only" and the Scheduling Strategy. I.e., 
we should have 3 scheduling strategies: Timer Driven, Event Driven, Cron Driven 
- and Primary Node Only as a separate concern.


> Automatically elect a new primary node to allow rolling restarts

> In a clustered environment, if you restart the primary node's NiFi instance, 
> all of the processors scheduled on "Primary Node" will automatically be 
> re-executed on start up. This is a problem if you require a processor to only 
> execute once per day, for example.  
> To get around this, you must manually promote a different node to primary 
> before restarting it. I think it would be a worthwhile feature to have the 
> primary node automatically elect another node primary if it's being 
> restarted.
