I used InetAddress.getHostName() to convert ip address to hostname, but if
it can't resolve hostname, it just returns ip address. It depends on network
environment. If `$ host <ipaddress>` command can't resolve the hostname, then
InetAddress.getHostName wouldn't be able to resolve, too.

> Priority: Minor
>
> With MiNiFi starting be used to send data to a central NiFi, it would be
> helpful if information about the sending host and port was added to each flow
> file received over site-to-site. Currently this information is available and
> used to generate the transit URI in the RECEIVE event, but this information
> isn't available to downstream processors that might want to make routing
> decisions.
> For reference:

> A possible approach might be to add two attributes to each flow file,
> something like "remote.host" and "remote.address" where remote.host has only
> the sending hostname, and remote.address has the sending host and port.
