Mike Indeed a very common requirement and we should support it. Would you mind raising a JIRA for it? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI

So using nifi id like to 1) be able to create new directories in HDFS (although I could potentially write a bash script to do the directory creation) and 2) change the target directory as the day changes. Any help much appreciated, Mike
