---------------------------------------------------------------
Ah neat, I wasn't aware of this. So the .* optimization will replace it with
an EL expression evaluation even if it's a huge binary file incoming? That
satisfies this use case.

> Add UpdateContent processor

> Key: NIFI-531
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-531
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework
> Reporter: Joseph Gresock
>
> A simple and powerful processor would be one that can replace the content of
> a flow file with an evaluated EL expression. This could be coupled with
> processors that take specific document formats as input (e.g., PutSolr from
> NIFI-461), which could easily be constructed using one or more flow file
> attributes.
> I believe the only way built into Nifi that lets you achieve this is to
> specify a header file in MergeContent, whose contents is an EL expression.
> This would simplify the process.
> Pull request forthcoming this week.
