NIFI-2751 NIFI-2848 Get batch of flow files in a round-robin manner
This closes #1111
> Queues aren't fairly drained when leading to a single component
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-2848
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2848
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 0.7.0
> Reporter: Joseph Gresock
> Assignee: Pierre Villard
> Fix For: 1.1.0
>
> Attachments: Backpressure_prioritization_test.xml, dominate_1.png,
> dominate_2.png, queue_drain.png

>
> Consider the scenario where multiple queues lead to a single component and
> all of them are full due to back pressure. With the attached template, it is
> easily observable that once a single queue starts to drain due to relieved
> back pressure, it will continue to drain as long as it has incoming flow
> files. This means that if there's a constant flow of incoming flow files to
> this queue, the other queues will never be drained (at least, that's my
> theory based on several hours of observation).
> To reproduce this:
> # Load the template into NiFi 1.0.0
> # Play all three GenerateFlowFile processors, but not the UpdateAttribute
> processor (this simulates backpressure). Wait until each queue has 1,000
> flow files (max backpressure)
> # Stop the GenerateFlowFile processors, and play the UpdateAttribute
> processor (this relieves the backpressure)
> # Observe which queue has started to drain, and start its GenerateFlowFile
> processor
> # Observe that the other two queues remain full indefinitely, while the
> draining queue continues to replenish and be drained indefinitely
