Bryan Bende commented on NIFI-4067:
-----------------------------------
Just throwing out an alternative idea... processors that store state could
offer a property to specify the initial value. In some cases this might be a
toggle like "Beginning of Time vs. Current Time", or in other cases it might be
an initial offset value like for a database table. This keeps it a little more
restrictive to what the processor expects to store, where as arbitrarily
modifying the state through the state manager could let someone set the value
to anything.
> Provide an interface to manually set/update the state of a processor

> Some processors are using a state manager and it would be useful to provide
> an interface allowing a privileged used to set/update the information stored
> in it. I believe some edge cases should be discussed but such an approach
> would allow a flow to be deployed without the need of processing large amount
> of existing data when only the newest data (generated once the workflow is
> started) is required.
