Oleg Zhurakousky updated NIFI-2919:
-----------------------------------
Description:
GetFile processor requires write permission to its input directory.
For example, if nifi is started by a user named 'nifi' (which is the case in
Ambari environment), and if the input directory does not give write permission
to user 'nifi', the processor simply stop working without giving warning or
error messages. From the end user's perspective, it is confusing.
I'd like to improve the user's experience by providing some check and warning.
It is similar to the check of the existencce of the input directory. If the
input directory is not present, GetFile already gives error messages to the
user. The same check can be done for directory permission.
> NiFi GetFile processor silently refuses to work if write permission is not
> given to the input directory
