ASF GitHub Bot commented on NIFI-4707: -------------------------------------- Github user mattyb149 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/2351 @ijokarumawak Looks great, thanks! Guess I was a little careless with implementation and testing on that go-round, thanks for getting it across the finish line. I ran the tests and with a number of scenarios on a live NiFi to verify things seem to be working smoothly. Will let Travis finish then merge to master. > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
