--------------------------------
Summary: ModifyCompression should route incoming uncompressed
FlowFile appropriately when Input Compression Strategy is 'use mime type
attribute'
Key: NIFI-15501
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-15501
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core Framework
Affects Versions: 2.6.0
Environment: Windows Server 2022
Reporter: Mark Ward
ModifyCompression replaces the deprecated (as of 2,6.0) CompressContent.
CompressContent had a useful feature, the documentation explains:
{quote}A common idiom is to precede CompressContent with IdentifyMimeType and
configure Mode='decompress' AND Compression Format='use mime.type attribute'.
When used in this manner, the MIME type is automatically detected and the data
is decompressed, if necessary. If decompression is unnecessary, the data is
passed through to the 'success' relationship.
{quote}
In contrast, ModifyCompression does not behave this way, instead routing
FlowFiles to the failure relationship (note this does not raise an
error/bulletin).
Can the ModifyCompression be modified to optionally include similar behaviour.
Perhaps routing files to a separate queue if user transparency is is of high
importance.
