Just my two cents... I have created a processor that generates CSV data. You can see an example here: http://datamelt.weebly.com/blog/nifi-processor-generatedata It generates data based on word lists, regular expressions or purely random. Date data can be generated in a way that the columns generated make sense. So e.g. a real date 2017-07-08 is generated randomly and you can have columns for year, month, day, weekday, week of year, etc that corespond to this date. And when you use word lists, it will generate data for catagories such as airlines, seasons, car manufacturers, etc. Hope this helps, Uwe

It will be very useful in testing flows that will run in non-perfect environments. This will be much more elegant than using several generate flow files in parallel with different settings. Thanks!
