Resolution: Duplicate
Looks like I created this one twice...
> Improve documentation of MergeContent
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-712
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-712
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation & Website
> Affects Versions: 0.1.0
> Reporter: Dan Bress
> Priority: Minor
>
> MergeContent is an incredibly powerful processor, but its
> [documentation|https://nifi.incubator.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi.processors.standard.MergeContent/index.html]
> is confusing, and makes it hard to understand how to configure it to do what
> you want.
> I'm proposing improving the documentation in the following ways:
> # Provide a graphical picture(a .png) to show how Bins, Bundles, Entries, and
> Groups relate to one another. Put this in additionalDetails.html.
> # Pick a term and stick with it. I think we use Bin, Bundle and Group in the
> documentation interchangeably when they all mean the same thing. Maybe I'm
> wrong about this, but this is part of my confusion.
> # I think [this
> line|https://github.com/apache/incubator-nifi/blob/develop/nifi/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-standard-bundle/nifi-standard-processors/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/processors/standard/MergeContent.java#L80-L82]
> is a typo:
> _It is recommended that the Processor be configured with only a single
> incoming connection, *as Group of FlowFiles* will not be created from
> FlowFiles in different connections_
