@danbress - I created NIFI-636 to cover this PR, and updated the PR's title
to link it.
@joewitt - the use case I'm considering for stack traces is operational
with feedback to engineering teams. When something is going wrong on some far
away network, we've had folks and/or tools tailing logs and reporting details
about the errors to dev teams via tickets that include stack traces.
Additionally, stack traces can be useful tools for low-level auditing purposes
to follow the flow of a user or piece of data through layers of the system, but
as you've said, provenance does a much better job of handling that.

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Affects Versions: 0.1.0
> Reporter: Brian Ghigiarelli
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: beginner, newbie
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h

> The SimpleProcessLogger and MockProcessorLog accept messages, parameters, and
> throwables to match the SLF4J interface, but throwables are only logged if
> DEBUG is enabled for the particular category, regardless of the level of the
> log method.
> As indicated on the developer mailing list, this was intended to reduce the
> verbosity of the logs by only including stack traces for those who were
> debugging the system. With the general shift toward provenance as an
> operational utility instead of log files, NiFi should support consistent
> logging of messages and throwables at the levels configured in the system.
