> MergeContent does not work in Kafka Connect Stateless flows if the processor
> is not the first one in the flow.
> NIFI-8469 solved this issue for flows similar to the ones mentioned in that
> jira:
> GetFile --> SplitText --> ReplaceText --> MergeContent --> PutS3Object
> In this scenario GetFile reads a file and creates a FF from it. SplitText
> creates multiple FFs. ReplaceText processes all the FFs first and
> MergeContent will be triggered only after ReplaceText finished with all FFs.
> So it is able to merge the FFs (but only splits coming from the same input
> file read by GetFile).
> A Kafka Connect Stateless Sink flow may look like this:
> Input port --> "Process/Transform messages" --> MergeContent --> PutS3Object
> The Kafka Connect framework polls some messages from the Kafka topic that
> will be enqueued in the stateless flow. Then the first processor gets
> triggered with one FF. This FF is sent downstream till the end of the flow.
> MergeContent can only see one FF at a time so it cannot merge multiple files.
> So the issue is that the first processor gets triggered for each flowfile
> separately (which is fine for GetFile but not for the KC Stateless flow).
> Only subsequent processors get triggered in "triggerWhileReady" way:
