Review comment:
       Looking at NiFi code is always a good source of hints and what we see 
there worth consideration, but it's not an unerring guidance or revelation. 
   In case we think that our implementation definitely requires a valid value 
for the given property to work, I think we should make it required.
   
   In case of properties that define attribute names I would also consider 
something like this: 
https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.apache.nifi/nifi-processor-utils/0.7.0/org/apache/nifi/processor/util/StandardValidators.html#NON_BLANK_VALIDATOR
   As we request a valid string here that can name an attribute.
