Without an InputRequirement annotation here, it defaults to INPUT_ALLOWED,
but you are not using any flow file(s) from the session. If you want to
prohibit input, please add a InputRequirement(INPUT_FORBIDDEN) annotation to
the class; otherwise, if you want to use incoming flow files (perhaps as a
trigger or for flow file attributes for the query, for example), you might
consider changing the name (so as not to confuse the behavior with other Get
processors) and checking for an available flow file. Either is fine with me,
unless aggregation queries might be plentiful and different, then I'd tend
toward the input-based approach. If one aggregate query per instance is the
intended use case, then I'm fine with the input-forbidden approach :)
