Is there a reason this processor wasn't just a part of the normal record
bundle instead of being thought of as part of a larger reprocessing bundle? If
it's just another file in that same nar, it wouldn't be a lot of space.
For reference, I have the use-case where I have attributes on a FF and the
content is a binary file. After putting the file to disk, I want to create a
nested json object to continue processing. I essentially want to create a new
record just from EL (same as UpdateRecord but with no reader). I believe
GenerateRecord would fill this need?
