> Currently, the framework prevents processors from removing the 'uuid'
> attribute. However, it does allow any other attribute to be removed. However,
> there are many processors that assume that the 'filename' and 'path'
> attributes exist, and they are intended always to exist - they are even
> assigned values when the FlowFile is created. We should ensure that these
> attributes cannot be removed.
> Otherwise, configuring UpdateAttribute to remove these attributes can cause
> follow-on processors to fail with unexpected NullPointerExceptions
