----------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
> Need a FETCH_CONTENT Provenance Event
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-7
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework, Extensions
> Reporter: Matt Gilman
> Priority: Minor
>
> This event should be used in lieu of a RECEIVE event when we are modifying
> the content based on data retrieved from an external source. The RECEIVE
> event is intended to denote the start of a FlowFile's Lineage. However, we
> often have Processors that fetch a listing of Files from an external service
> and then have a subsequent Processor pull the content. RECEIVE in this case
> breaks things because we can't indicate that we are RECEIVING a FlowFile if
> we already have the FlowFile. CONTENT_MODIFIED is better but doesn't indicate
> that we are receiving the data from an external source or what that external
> source is.
> Propose we introduce FETCH_CONTENT Provenance Type that allows the ability to
> specify 1 or more URIs from which the content was fetched.
