-----------------------------------
Summary: Parent processor's ID & relationship as constantly
updating FlowFile attributes
Key: NIFI-5397
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5397
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Dan Shevenell
My team has a use-case where being able to access FlowFile attributes of ...
* Parent processor's ID
* Routing relationship (e.g. "success", "failure", "matched", etc.)
... would be exceptionally helpful.
*Request:* By default, have each processor update
{color:#59afe1}parent.processor.id {color}{color:#333333}and
{color:#59afe1}parent.relationship{color} flowfile attributes.{color}
Use-case specifics:
* We've built a GUI where edge operators submit data back to a remote, central
repository.
* Operators won't know anything about NiFi / the underlying data processing
chains.
* Being able to simply "chirp" back processor ID + relationship to the GUI
would allow us to provide light, "provenance-like" status to the remote edge
operator.
