----------------------------------
Summary: Design method for attaching attributes using
ExecuteProcess/ExecuteStreamCommand
Key: NIFI-665
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-665
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ricky Saltzer
Assignee: Ricky Saltzer
Currently, the ExecuteProcess and ExecuteStreamCommand processors can only
consume and produce new flow files. Although they can access attributes
attached to the flow files through the use of environment variables, they have
no way to update or attach new attributes.
I think it could be really useful if there was a generic way for us to attach
flow file attributes using these two processors. Since environment variables
created or updated by a flow file are only visible to the executing process,
we'll unfortunately not be able to utilize it.
The purpose of this JIRA is to provide a forum for how we could potentially
solve this.
