It's not checking for input == null here, that would be one of the
requirements for the "flowfile-driven behavior" rather than the "timer-driven
behavior". It might cause an NPE at line 266, and otherwise if null you may be
treating it as flowfile-driven when really it is more like timer-driven.
ExecuteSQL has a good example of how to handle this.
