@mattyb149 I forgot to mention that I'm +1 with the rest of the code, so if
my commit seems reasonable, please squash yours and merge it. Thanks!
> SiteToSiteProvenanceReportingTask not returning correct metadata
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-4707
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4707
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Matt Burgess
> Assignee: Matt Burgess
>
> When the SiteToSiteProvenanceReportingTask emits flow files, some of them
> include a "componentName" field and some do not. Investigation shows that
> only the components (except connections) in the root process group have that
> field populated. Having this information can be very helpful to the user,
> even though the names might be duplicated, there would be a mapping between a
> component's ID and its name. At the very least the behavior (i.e. component
> name being available) should be consistent.
> Having a full map (by traversing the entire flow) also opens up the ability
> to include Process Group information for the various components. The
> reporting task could include the parent Process Group identifier and/or name,
> with perhaps a special ID for the root PG's "parent", such as "@ROOT@" or
> something unique.
> This could also allow for a PG ID in the list of filtered "component IDs",
> where any provenance event for a processor in a particular PG could be
> included in a filter when that PG's ID is in the filter list.
