While working on implementations, I faced a problem of penalization on
failure.
Some processors are penalizing FF on failure, some do only on rollback,
some gives you a choice whether to penalize or not on failure.
Use Case:
FetchFile -> transform -> PutHiveStreaming
On PutHiveStreaming failure -> 1) wait 1 min + retry, 2) create a table
(puthiveql will make you overwrite content, so you cannot do that sequentially).
There are more use, fo now I do like this:

> allow delayed transfer

> Nifi has concept of penalization, but this penalization has fixed delay, and
> there isn't way how to change it dynamically.
> If we want to implement retry flow, where FlowFile flows in loop, we can
> either lower performance of Processor via yielding it, or we can do active
> waiting. And this is actually recommended as a correct way how to do that.
> It seems, that we can easily implement better RetryProcessor, all we missing
> is `session.penalize` which accepts `penalizationPeriod`. Processor then can
> gradually prolong waiting time after each failure.
>
> Would it be possible to make such method visible?
