Two python processors from NiFi 2.0 Snapshot that didnt work when I added them to the start of my data flow was the following: **GenerateRecord.py** **WriteNumber.py** I started with these two python processors above because I wanted to create a custom python processor **GetNFBSNiFTiFiles** that gathered a list of MRI filepaths for my NFBS Skull-Stripped Repository dataset. I found for my custom python processor and the ones above, if I sent some data to them using an earlier processor like **GenerateFlowFile**, even if I wasnt using the data from that initial processor, then my new processor and the two above would create the data I wanted. For Python based Processors inheriting from "FlowFileTransform", if we want to use it to get or generate data, I found I couldnt run **transform()** method without using a prior processor that sends data to my python processor. I figured "FlowFileTransform" python processors would mainly be used for different data processing, but not for data generation. Will there be python processors that inherit from another class similar to Java Processor's GetFile, GenerateFlowFile? Does NiFi 2.0 snapshot's python processors currently support creating new python processors for generating new data? Thanks. @taz1988 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
