-----------------------------------
Summary: Add a No tracking Strategy to ListFile/ListFTP
Key: NIFI-7263
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7263
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Jens M Kofoed
The Listfile/ListFTP has 2 Listing Strategies: Tracking Timestamps and Tracking
Entities.
It would be very very nice if the List process also could have a No Tracking
(fix it your self) strategy
If running NIFI in a cluster the List/Fetch is the perfect solution instead of
using a GetFile. But we have had many caces where files in the pickup folder
has old timestamps, so here we have to use Tracking Entities.
The issue is in cases where you are not allowed to delete files but you have to
make a change to the file filter. The tracking entities start all over, and
list all files again.
In other situations we need to resent all data, and would like to clear the
state of the Tracking Entities. But you can't.
So I have to make a small flow for detecting duplicates. And in some cases just
ignore duplicates and in other caces open up for sending duplicates. But it is
a pain in the ... to use the Tracking Entities.
So a NO STRATEGY would be very very nice
