   > For example, should the Scheduler thread be created in the onScheduled 
method, but only started in onTrigger?
   
   This is possible but has a downside. Scheduler needs a record processor 
which uses a `ProcessSessionFactory` that is available only in `onTrigger()`. 
The processor won't get called before the thread the Scheduler runs on is 
started, yet it would introduce additional state in the record processor which 
is definitely a downside.
   
   The question is: is the advantage bigger than the disadvantage? 
   imho not given the creation is fairly infrequent

synchronized lock object approach.
   
   I may lack experience with NiFi but it seems to me that start and stop 
events are fairly infrequent for processors — this indicates there will be 
little contention especially when the lock is inherent to a processor instance, 
no?
   
   If so, having an AtomicBoolean or other Atomic* will only unnecessary 
complicate the code.
