----------------------------------------
Hi [~jmkofoed],
Could you please explain in more details about what do you mean "No Tracking
Strategy"?.
Thank you
> 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
> Priority: Major
> Labels: ListFile, listftp
>
> 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
