Mark Bean commented on NIFI-8962: --------------------------------- We have proven the functionality of a custom DivertLoad processor by using it successfully for some time, and thought it was a nice contribution. However, I agree with the recommendation so that we do not introduce another processor when one that is so similar already exists. I'll modify DistributeLoad with a new strategy. > Create DivertLoad processor > --------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-8962 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8962 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Extensions > Reporter: Mark Bean > Assignee: Mark Bean > Priority: Major > > Create a new processor, DivertLoad. This processor will send FlowFiles to the > primary relationship as long as it is available (i.e. back pressure is not > preventing FlowFiles from being sent to this relationship.) If the primary > relationship is unavailable, FlowFiles will be sent to an alternate overflow > relationship. > This processor will allow specialized or alternate processing to occur by the > flow if a given connection has reached its back pressure limit. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
