Summary: FetchFile processor to update filename attribute
Key: NIFI-8426
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8426
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Chris

In using the fetch file it would be nice to be able to have the fetch file able
to update the flowfile attributes of the file it picked up. Since on the fetch
there is a property for specifying what file to pickup which doesn't need to be
"file.path/filename" and then the incoming flows attributes would be incorrect.
Maybe this would be a boolean property to write the attributes of the file that
was actually picked up rather than of what was on the incoming flow.

I have some cases in which I might list one thing but want to fetch something
else. Alternatively maybe have a list processor in the middle able to take a
flow as input rather than being timed. I do think this would be beneficial
over having to move files to directories in these cases where you want to
trigger pickup of files and not depend on time windows since there's otherwise
no need for network traffic of moving the file.
