Daniel Stieglitz updated NIFI-12709:
------------------------------------
Description:
In an email from Jan 31st to users list titled 'ExecuteStreamCommand failing to
unzip incoming flowfiles'
Issue is that UnpackContent doesn't capture much useful metadata. The user
wants last modified date which is easily available, but also creator, creation
time, and owner which are less obviously avaialble at least not consistently.
But there is a concept of extra fields we can extract metadata from. We have
those same fields available from Tar files so it is natural users would also
want these. Given their names aren't standard though I see why Tar is the only
one we currently say we support pulling those for. If we at least captured the
metadata then flow builders can use it in their flows as they wish whereas
right now we dont expose that information.
