Andre commented on NIFI-687:
----------------------------
[~DebbieM] I suspect the documentation is correct:
A flowfile may contain a number of attributes but according to
https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/3b408f560124efec40983eb218109afc4ba19c95/nifi-commons/nifi-utils/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/flowfile/attributes/CoreAttributes.java
The following constitute the Core Attributes:
PATH
ABSOLUTE_PATH
FILENAME
UUID
PRIORITY
MIME_TYPE
DISCARD_REASON
ALTERNATE_IDENTIFIER
while the attributes you refer to, are effectively flowfile record:
https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/d838f61291d2582592754a37314911b701c6891b/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-framework-bundle/nifi-framework/nifi-framework-core/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/controller/repository/StandardFlowFileRecord.java
Having said that, I have noticed a discrepancy on how the terms core attributes
and standard attributes are being used within the code (e.g.
https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/d838f61291d2582592754a37314911b701c6891b/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-standard-bundle/nifi-standard-processors/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/processors/standard/LogAttribute.java#L158)
and will check with the more senior folks what is the best way forward.

> I am using 0.1.0. The User Guide (under Terminology) states tjhat a FlowFile
> has the following standard attributes: uuid, filename, and path. However, if
> you hover over a bulletin on a processor, Standard FlowFile Attributes are
> listed as entryDate, lineageStartDate, and fileSize with other attributes,
> including uuid, listed under FlowFile Attribute Map Content. Can you please
> update the documentation? Thank you.
