Pierre Villard updated NIFI-14005:
----------------------------------
Status: In Progress (was: Patch Available)
> New processor GetFileResource
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-14005
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-14005
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Pierre Villard
> Assignee: Pierre Villard
> Priority: Minor
> Time Spent: 1h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> The goal of this new GetFileResource processor is to provide a way for a user
> to inject a File Resource as a FlowFile with custom attributes. It means that
> the processor would be able to specify a path to a file and its content would
> be used as FlowFile's content. By leveraging the asset feature, it makes it
> easy to load a test dataset as a FlowFile in a cloud native environment
> (container based).
> Alternatives that have been considered:
> * GenerateFlowFile with a "Custom File/Content" property. However, a
> processor being able to access the local file system needs to be associated
> with a specific set of permissions and that would be a significant breaking
> change for all users already using GenerateFlowFile processor where such
> permissions are enforced.
> * GetFile with some specific improvements. However, longer term we would
> likely want to completely remove this processor and only have
> ListFile/FetchFile. Beside, its configuration is overly complex for the
> intended goal here.
