@ijokarumawak so i see where this is heading and i get how it can help.
That said, given expression language and such things I'm concerned just how
much real flow information can be gleaned at design time (like this is looking
this in looking at the flow defn itself) versus runtime using the provenance
data itself. The current approach has some important limitations like the
processors which can be supported have to explicitly referenced in code for
now. The runtime approach using provenance events obviously has scale concerns
but perhaps that is more correct and warrants further review. What do you
think?
