Michael Moser commented on NIFI-1018:
-------------------------------------
I wonder if the new StateManager could be leveraged in any way? Can Controller
Services access the StateManager? Can FlowFile references be stored in the
StateManager in such a way that it could be used in a ProvenanceReporter?
> Allow ControllerServices access to ProvenanceReporter

>
> Currently we maintain a provenance trail for all files flowing through NiFi
> Processors. However, if a ControllerService uses some data set it generally
> just loads it from disk after it is fetched using a normal NiFi flow.
> However, this breaks the provenance trail for the data set... there is no way
> (in provenance terms) of knowing what data set the ControllerService is using
> or when it was loaded. By giving ControllerServices access to the
> ProvenanceReporter, they can acknowledge "receipt" of a data set, so the
> provenance trail from pull to use is maintained.
